[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 297469, member: 6546"] Stang-- I think that this is a battle you will lose.... But perhaps you can offer him a clever compromise? My high school used to put study halls last on purpose to encourage seniors to accept internships with area businesses for school credit. Seniors would leave school early to go get real world work experience. Employers loved it because these positions were unpaid internships and the students loved leaving school early. If your school does not already have such a program, maybe you and the SD could arrange a special deal for difficult child? There must be SOME business near the school that would love to offer him an internship....and if the school could give him credit for that "course" it could be a win-win (especially if he did well and actually ended up earning a paid job out of it after graduation!). Just an idea... --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
