[QUOTE="DDD, post: 450299, member: 35"] Based on your profession I would imagine this is really a painful decision to make. in my humble opinion, if you are thoroughly convinced that substances are not determining his goal perhaps you should consider having him earn his GED and forget the school fight. This is contrary to my natural instinct but I did have a nephew that literally hated high school. He was a bright kid but insisted that he did not want to stay in school. He was told he had to at least earn his GED which he easily did. Subsequently, he managed to become very very successful. Now he has sons in college and regrets that he did not follow the normal path but...he has attained his goals which were success and a family of his own. I don't know anything about skating but based on that experience I know that "some" kids really need an alternative path. I am sending you supportive thoughts. Only you and your husband can make such a huge decision and I wish you well. DDD [/QUOTE]
