[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 668838, member: 16024"] Good morning, Terry Has Difficult Child explained why he is just not going to school anymore? Maybe a change of schools or on-line schooling would work better for him? I would ask him what he wants to do. A high school diploma is not the be-all end-all it used to be. With the advent of homeschooling, colleges are used to having kids apply without a traditional diploma. None of my kids have a traditional high school diploma, but that didn't stop them from getting a college diploma! Nor did it top them from getting into the colleges of their choice, scholarships, internships, etc. Colleges are very open-minded about non-traditional education choices. And mine didn't get a GED either.I realize that your son's situation is different, but it is not the end of the world if he doesn't graduate. He will if it is important to him, but if it's not, you can't make him care. On the bright side, he seems to be helping with the baby! This bond could propel him to do the right thing for her, if he thinks about it in that way. [/QUOTE]
