[QUOTE="klmno, post: 406083, member: 3699"] He did well in mainstream school...when he actually did it and turned it in. The biggest differences in Department of Juvenile Justice sd are no homeowrk, the kids can't skip class, and they can't be suspended. They HAVE to be in class each day unless extremely sick or locked in isolation and if locked in isolation, they schoolwork is brought to them and it's part of their requirement to get out of isolation. So basicly, they can either sit in class, do nothing, and get bad grades or do the work. Oh- another big difference- class sizes are about 5-10 students per teacher. All his individual grades don't come back good- he got a 71 on an end of semester test but because his other grades were good and his 1st semester grade was very good, he final semester grade was still good. As I said, I don't know how much this particular school might be dumbing them down, but the first one he went to turned out to exceed my expectations. At least he got something good from that stint. Now whether or not he ever turns around and uses an educational foundation for better use, who knows. I've always thought he was too smart for his own good too, he seems to use it to dig himself in deeper a lot of times. [/QUOTE]
