I don't know how he does it.

[QUOTE="klmno, post: 406016, member: 3699"] JJJ, obviously I can't speak for the sd Kanga is in, but I had the same concerns about the Department of Juvenile Justice school my son was in the first time (finishing 8th grade and doing most of 9th grade)- I thought it MUST be a poor excuse for a school. But as it turned out, he already knew what was being taught in the same mainstream 9th grade classes at the end of last school year. That is how he passed and did ok in so many classes even though he was skipping out and not doing squat. I don't know about the school he's in at this facility, but maybe it's true- some of these are actually teaching more because they are much more stringent than mainstream sd's with classes over-filled. Now, I'm not saying that's preferable to a easy child in a mainstream sd getting Cs by any means. Given a choice, I'd prefer to have a easy child. But at this point, I'm looking at it like the choice is a difficult child in Department of Juvenile Justice flunking or a difficult child in Department of Juvenile Justice at least getting an education. I am big on education- I figure it's the one thing that can never be a waste or taken away and can only help one in life. Again, I have no clue about Kanga's facility, but here, Department of Juvenile Justice sds sure don't let kids slide thru- at least that's been what I;'ve seen so far. [/QUOTE]
