[QUOTE="klmno, post: 483136, member: 3699"] They work on a schedule here where kids take longer class period each semester but get a full year's credit at the end of the semester, taking 4 classes per semester in HS. In order for it to be feasible, difficult child would have to have opportunity to take Span 2, Bio2 or Chemistry, WH2 or Government, and Algebra 2 this spring. They don't offer those classes (well, maybe the Government they do) in Department of Juvenile Justice schools or alternative schools, he would have to attend a mainstream HS in the spring and in his senior year and start the semester early enough for them to allow him in those classes. Now, it's not impossible to still get it because he could go to summer school or take an extreneous course load his senior year and still do it, but if he goes to group home, I don't see any way in hades it will happen- I think re-entry lady pretty much has it boiled down to 2 choices for these boys- alternative school for diploma or GED. If he came back to live with me, I would advocate for summer school and working part-time thru the summer, allowing him to take this higher level courses with mainstream school, etc, but I'm still flipping like a fish over the parole plan and all so I don't see difficult child being able to get anything but 2 core classes and 2 electives this upcoming spring semester.
