[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 187869, member: 1233"] I think going to get his schedule and taking him to see where each of his classes is will be CRUCIAL to having a good year. However, if you can't do this, be aware that MANY kids will be picking up schedules and finding their way the first few days. Any chance he can have a private French tutor or an online class in French that he does at home, and take the engineering class? The engineering class will be important to getting into his career track and being where he needs to be for hte next few years. The French is probably available with a private tutor or online class to keep his skills up so he can take it in a future year. He may even be able to do the french privately and test out of the classes (CLEP test, or it used to be - counts as college credit - many of my college classmates took this test in high school and got out of both high school and college classes - I DID go to a very advanced high school though.) otherwise, I would ASK him what he wants to do, AFTER explaining the drawbacks and positive points of each choice. See how HE feels, what his preferences are. Because from this point, most of his success is a choice on his part. He is a very intelligent person. He has worked hard, as have you and Dad. Go with your gut and his choices. He is lucky to have you behind him! Be sure you talk to the teachers at both schools. I know that now my difficult child (almost a easy child!!) HAS an IEP, but is not actively using interventions. He has come far enough that regular classes and supports are enough for him! We hope to get Jess and thank you to this point. They are both on 504s for health reasons. Let us know what you all decide on! [/QUOTE]
