[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 146066, member: 1233"] Just had an interesting talk with difficult child. He cancome up with the lamest reasons for things. Part of it is twisted thinking, part is just thinking adults are stupid. Hah! He thinks he will go to college. Says he will take the ACT as a senior. He doesn't see the need for algebra. I support the machinist training completely. It will let him have a higher paying job while in college. It also will give him an extra year of schooling before college. The training program is 2 years. The first year is half day, with high school the other half day. The second year is either all the program, or half program half job relating tothe program. He will be 17 at the end of his senior year in highschool, and the extra year is a very good thing. My objection to the forensic science class is NOT because I object to him becoming a forensic person with the police. THAT would be wonderful. I object because it will give him more tools to break the law and hide his actions. He is a true master manipulator, and extremely intelligent. He really really doesn't need more tools to become a criminal. And that is EXACTLY how he would use what he learned in a forensic class. He can take classes in forensics as an adult, and on HIS dime. I think he will probably be back at my parents' on Friday. I can handle things until then. Jess will sleep with me. She just won't function well if she is in her own room. This will give my mom and dad some time to come to an understanding. Susie [/QUOTE]
