[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 146093, member: 84"] Susie Unless he needs the algebra to graduate, don't worry about it. I know it isn't easy, but if difficult child does make it to college he can take it there. Same with that 2nd language. Or he can take those in a community college. My point is those things can be made up later. (maybe that's what your Dad is thinking too) As for Dad's different spin on things with difficult child, some of it is coming from age and experience, alot of it is coming from love. Although I can't believe the "all teens steal from their parents" remark either. lol Maybe Dad's views on the classes is to keep the boy interested and IN school to graduate. I have to chuckle about the algebra. Travis had to take it before geometry. Well, he flunked it. Somehow no one noticed but me. Even when I called the school they didn't do anything. Travis passed geometry with flying colors. (his forte) Even took algebra 2. But had never passed algebra 1! Then took physics. School didn't "catch" it til his senior year, and told him he'd have to take it again. We put up such a stink they wound up deciding since he passed the other classes he didn't need it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed your Dad has a plan and isn't in denial that difficult child can be a difficult child even with him. Hugs [/QUOTE]
