[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 301960, member: 1514"] He is older than his fellow classmates. That could be part of the problem. I realize he only has a couple of months to go too. Does your community college offer something called Adult Education classes? This is where a person can actually get their HS diploma instead of a GED. This is done normally in the same place as where they go to get the GED, at least here, but they do the work to get the diploma instead of the GED. I will let you in on a secret. When Jamie was in his senior year he came down with pneumonia and missed ONE too many days in his first semester. All his other teachers passed him anyway but his English teacher was a PITA and failed him. And yes, we had doctors notes. This would have meant he couldnt have graduated at the end of the year and would have had to take summer school for his senior english. It just ticked us off. I pulled him out of school and enrolled him in Adult Ed at the community college. Do remember we had his whole adult life mapped out with the military...lol. Nothing could stand in our way! Jamie started Adult Ed that Jan after Xmas break and he finished up his classes before his graduating class actually did and he graduated with his Adult Ed class as the youngest member of that class. Yep, they had a ceremony where they had cap and gowns and they walked. He was the youngest at 17 and 10 months and the oldest was 70. LOL. [/QUOTE]
