WOW;;;
Lots of good questions.. here goes:
1: He can go either way-not to it at all or do it in 5 minutes. Either way he says he is bored.
2: No academic summer camps.
3: He loves to draw-UNTIL now. He claims his Art teacher gives him low grades no matter good his work is (I tend to agree)-that is IF he even turns it in. He is getting discouraged.
4: LD is not suspected and has never been an issue.
5: No cash..
6: He has never taken the SAT.
7: Immature for boarding school. Did check into Deep Springs-sounds like something he needs.
8: I took a year off before going to college. Right now I am more worried that he won't graduated-will flunk out. Just checked his grades-2 days ago he had an F in only one class-now it is in 3.
He is a quiet kid-into books and computers. I cannot see him in college hanging out with all the popular kids in the sorority house. He's be in his room reading or playing PC game.
With his bad grades, I can't see the school agreeing to a grade skip, which they don't do anyway. Tried that in 4th grade-no dice they said.
Thanks for making me think with all your questions. You should check this out for your son too
