[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 669642, member: 1157"] Was just going to say what pasa did -- you can use a smartphone for wifi without any service from a cell phone provider. Verizon probably did cancel it if they're not charging you, but it doesn't matter. All he needs is a place with free wifi-... a friend's house, Starbucks, wherever. If you paid for his phone, I'd ask him to give it back. He can be responsible for finding another on his own. Neither of my girls graduated high school on time. Oldest ended up taking correspondence classes to finish the credits she needed, and got her diploma about 6 months after everyone else. Yougest dropped out not long after she turned 18, and got her GED about 5 years later. In both cases, I had worked my butt off getting them accommodations through IEPs, meeting with teachers, arranging for make-up work or homebound instruction when they missed school due to hospitalizations, but in the end it didn't matter. It was up to each of them to do the work, and to commit to finishing. They just didn't want to be bothered. To be honest it was kind of a releif when I gave up and put it all in their laps. It was their problem, not mine, if they didn't graduate. Cutting that cord and stepping is hard... but it all goes back to "you're working hard than he is." Why jump through hoops when he could care less? [/QUOTE]
