[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 707659, member: 1550"] You can get a GED. These kids are not geared toward school or high level careers right now or we would not be here on this forum. Low school performance goes with poor life choices. They lack motivation and dont think much about the future. Drugs are often a problem. These are not typical teens eager to launch into adulthood. They are sadly different. Very few college kids are on this forum. Many dropouts. Many refuse counseling and we cant make them go. I work at a restaurant and i am not sure you need a high school diploma to work here...just the ability to do the job. Many work their way up. What we want for our kids we have to put aside if they dont want it too. We cant make them do our dreams. They wont listen. One day a light may turn on. It must come from them. I personally feel online school is a good option for one who may drop out. If 50% never finish that means that 50% who never cared about school DID get a diploma and thats good. Not everyone fits into mainstream school and not all are troublemakers. Its worth a try. Jmo.. [/QUOTE]
