[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 279498, member: 84"] Heather I'm wondering if some of this is guilt on the part of the school due to the mono issue and easy child's illness for so long? Possible. Who knows? Maybe they were hoping that easy child could bounce back and do the work if they put enough pressure on him, only to discover the opposite had happened and now feel sort of bad about it. Not like this is a difficult child who makes a habit of brushing of school and gets into trouble. Now bare with me as this is only a fuzzy memory. It took place not long after the brain injury. But the hs wasn't going to let Travis graduate. They said he didn't meet one of the english requirements nor one of the math requirements. Now I happen to know a kid with an IEP is nearly impossible to prevent from graduating. (at least around here) So I went in furious and wouldn't take the option of no graduation as a possiblity. 1. Travis had taken all the english courses. No one informed him he'd failed, said on his report card he'd passed with a D. 2. The math class he'd failed twice (algebra) but somehow that hadn't mattered when he took geometry and physics. So, they counted his Drama class as an English. (it is actually) And the physics he took at the tech school made up for the failed math course. The kid graduated. I'm glad that now the pressure to graduate is off easy child is back to his old self. I hope this works out for him and he can get his diploma without having to go the GED route. A GED is fine, but a diploma looks better. Hugs [/QUOTE]
