[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 666327, member: 3419"] Sheesh, he's got a lot of similarities to my son! I wish I could say we've come through all this, but we're smack in the middle of it. And my son doesn't like philosophy. He's bad at math, too. Wow, a one-way ticket to Japan? Does he speak Japanese? I don't blame him for having trouble with U.S. schools after going to military base schools. So many kids do well in those schools and really, really learn. And then they're plunked down into our system and struggle. So glad you were on top of it and changed schools. But as you noticed, there is something else going on. After reading these notes again, I have to kind of chuckle at the irony of wanting to live on the streets, and wanting to have intellectual discussions. Philosophy is the antithesis of living on the street. As the others have said, it's about drug abuse, mental illness, danger and hunger. NOT utopia! If he asked a homeless guy about Kierkegaard, the answer would be, "What does he sell? Is he in lockup?" Why do these kids thinks that living on the street is utopia? Just because parents aren't there? Has he stolen food from a store yet? They all have cameras. I feel for you. [/QUOTE]
