[QUOTE="Star*, post: 262391, member: 4964"] and the band played on.......GOOD GRIEF....... This is the problem we had with Dude - in SC you need so many Carneagy units to graduate. I'm surprised because it's how they are able to give or deny a diploma to students. Even in severely Learning Disability (LD) or ED I'm told the criteria and exit exam is the same. I somehow doubt that a person with a 54 IQ could pass the exit exam, and takes the same test. BECAUSE I asked if Dude would take a different test based on the placements he has been in. The SD said no. NO......he has to take the GED test, pass and then can get his GED certificate. Well that's great - but---after being in these placements and Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s and group homes that were NOT accredited towards giving him carneagy units - he's not walking this year - and was not welcome back to the high school as a student of 18 - who would be in the 9th grade.....and have to attend 4 more years of school and graduate with 18 year olds when he would be 21/22. So basically the SD and the caseworkers who "thought" these placements had accredited schools - botched that totally. I feel for you - but if you could get your hands on your sons school records and send them to the headmaster at Department of Juvenile Justice? I would do it. UGH. [/QUOTE]
