[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 496097"] This is a hard dilemma.... and hopefully with rehab your son will get that he needs to get his hs diploma. We had this issue also with our son. My son was actually expelled in October of his senior year... oh gosh that was a bad time. Anyway he ended up in an alternative school but started disobeying the rules there too and using. We eventually kicked him out before finishing high school. We knew it was risky but really we couldn't have him in the home and it came down again to him needing to decide for himself to make some good choices. So he did not graduate in June and we were getting used to the idea of eventually him getting his GED. It was sad because he was literally a few assignments away from passing his classes at the alternative school so he could get his diploma. As always there were lots of adults pulling for him but he had to decide he was willing to do what he needed to do. I think some friends finally talked to him about the importance of having his high school diploma. So he finally asked us about his options... and he went back to the therapeutic boardinig school he was in in 10th grade for 2 weeks to finish up the work. This was all done with the agreement of the alternative school here, and the TBS and us. But he did end up doing it and so thankfully he got his hs diploma... literally by the skin of his teeth. We were very very happy that he decided to do this and after that we let him come home again, feeling like he had really made an effort to turn things around. Of course the rest is history... he was home for a couple of months when we had to kick him out again. But at least he did get his diploma. TL [/QUOTE]
