[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 257566, member: 3444"] Summer school isn't necessarily a bad thing, in my opinion. We thought we'd be facing it with difficult child 1 this year, but he's managed to pull his butt out of the fire and is no longer failing his academic classes -- might be getting a D, but at least it's not an F. You might ask if the district has alternative school placement options for a sort of Plan B if things continue to worsen for him. I found out we have several non-traditional choices for the highschool level, although we probably won't need to go there if difficult child 1 continues to stay focused. His problems are similar to your difficult child's -- smart kid, but doesn't do the work or forgets to turn it in. That's why he's finally getting an evaluation this year :) I'd hate to see your difficult child lose the one class he truly enjoys, also. I think kids need to have something really positive that they look forward to in their day. So unless you could give him an art class outside of school, maybe try to hang onto that. We were looking at a similar option for difficult child 1, but it would mean he'd have to drop orchestra OR his technology lab, both of which he really loves so he gave me a resounding NO to that idea.
