I am at a loss for what to do. He was put ahead 2 years against my better judgement beause he was execeptional at everything. Last year, he made 2 D's in advanced chemistry and IB Calculus...math and science have always been his places of excellence. He says he is not smart enough and now all he wants to do is play video games..is very inventive in finding ways to get around parental controls...and wants to get out of IB. I don't think he needs it ( the IB diploma) but I think he is so apathethetic that it will be replaced by NOTHING. He said he wanted to go to college early and to get a degree in Video Game production...but I really think all he wants to do it play EVE and other games. A gifted counselor told me several years ago to let him play the games because it would allow him to be highly focussed. I am so worried about him. Should I take him out of school and send him to a horse ranch
to work until his maturity catches up with his abilty...and not rush him to graduate. Let him fail ? A am so worried about him
