[quote=Anonymous]I can see that this is upsetting, but as long as he graduates...it will be forgotten in a few years (assuming that you can afford the extension). He will pay his own price, in having to explain this to people (and live with the consequences). I would not worry too much. Perhaps he felt like he could not discuss it with you at the time. You might expore that if it feels like a plausible dynamic in your family. He is not a horrible outlier (taking more than 4 years to graduate) and that should not be your concern anyway. He is your kid, and you have to roll with that. My kid is graduating on time, but many of her friends will wind up graduating early (because of APs). So, she will be a bit left out when all is said and done...but it is fine. They are not in a race. Just try to help him accomplish his goals.[/quote]
