[QUOTE="enzo, post: 673627, member: 13268"] Here's an update: he did two summer sessions to get back on track to academic eligibility but lived with his idiot friends fall term sophomore year. it was like they made a group academic and disciplinary suicide pact, and he will only pass 1 of 3 courses he was taking this term. We laid it out during midterm break: turn it around or your done, we're not going to send you to college for 8 years. He gave us the finger, along with his teachers and everyone else at the school. So now, he's amazed that he's not going back in the spring. He didn't think we'd really do it (just like we wouldnt really send him to Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) and boarding school, which we did a few years back). He had every opportunity: tutors, advisors, time...he did nothing except binge watch tv and party with his friends. Good news is that drug use is minimal besides near daily pot use. could be worse and he's not dealing. Just stinks that we have to find Plan B when Plan A was better....anyone have experience with inter college gap years, or semester at Community College? Always a risk that he won't complete college and he;s going to lose a girl friend that he made...but don't see how we can send him back in good conscience when he hasn't shown any serious effort at all...thoughts? many thx [/QUOTE]
