[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not reading 5 pages.

but a 17 on the ACT means just skip all the testing and move onto TO school. Free yourself![/quote]

A 17 does not mean TO. It means he doesn’t have basic math and reading comprehension skills. At all. [/quote]

That’s not true at all.  I have a DC who scored similarly at a top private.  Just a kid with anxiety, ADHD and raeding issue.  No teacher thinks he is not ready for college.  Just a horrible test taker.  Don’t be pressured by all the posters recommending trade school. Just go TO.  That’s what we’re doing. [/quote]

Ok, but also, listen to what you're saying: horrible test taker, anxiety, ADHD, reading issue

Why push him into 4 more years of that stress, frustration and anxiety, when he could be figuring out something he actually is gifted at right now?  If he has a specific reason/passion for college, and he wants to fight for it--sure.  But assuming college is a good idea just because everyone else does it?  Because of parental/societal expectations?  It's misery to keep working at something you are not good at, especially if you don't have a clear motivation and drive that propels you to keep going.
