[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 124649, member: 1967"] When my difficult child was a high school senior, she enrolled in a joint enrollment program in a local community college. She went to college classes instead of high school classes and graduated from high school with one year of college completed. My difficult child was never a school behavior problem and made very good grades. Our problems were the crowd that she was hanging with and substance abuse issues. Our hope was that getting her away from the high school crowd would get her focused on college early and that would be the answer to our problems. Of course, it didn't work that way. She just had more freedom to skip classes and hang out with her loser friends. She also made some new, older evil friends. She did complete her classes with A's, B's, and C's but I wouldn't do it again if we could do things over. She ended up dropping out of college the next year (3 times over the course of the next few years) but is back in school now and doing well (finally at 22) . So I can't tell you what would work for you but it wasn't the answer for us. It does sound like a fantastic program, though. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
