[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 437534, member: 1169"] Right now he just has 1 class (summer school). I have chosen to fight this battle because I think it is vital to his future. Several situations have come up in the last few months when an earlier decision to allow natural consequences to occur has come back and hurt. Those were just sports (where Eeyore chose to quit cause he didn't want to go to practice or do the drills and then this year when he wanted to go back and play with his friends, he was horrible compared to them because they continued to practice 4-5 days a week for the last 5 years. Eeyore didn't get that it was a natural outcome to his lack of effort, he felt that he was lied to when people told him he was good 5 years ago rather than seeing the lack of development from that point). To allow him to fail at this, when it is so key to his goals, will definitely cause a much bigger battle when he can't go to college cause he gets a brutal ACT score or can't even pass our community college entrence exam. Plus, then what....he isn't disabled enough for SSI but if he doesn't develop the skills to hold a job..... [/QUOTE]
