[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 712522, member: 1550"] I think you did great. He can graduate on his timeline or not, but I would not allow him money, a cell phone, a car etc on your dime if he doesn't. Schools have study halls before and after schools for kids who really want to catch up. My daughter got through math this way and is getting through college. One more year. She wanted it bad, although she had such a bad learning disability that she could not read until eight. Dont put money out. His teachers will help him if he is trying but sincerely cant do it. They dont charge. If he is just goofing off, nothing will help him. If you cut off the Bank of Mom, he will have to graduate or be very bored. If my autistic son and Learning Disability (LD) daughter can not just graduate on time with good grades but thrive, why cant your son? Both of those kids struggled with average IQs but they did it. My daughter is about to enter the police academy. She has worked her tail off and had an almost full time job too. Your son is bright? Not disabled? He certainly can at least graduate with some sweat. My guess is his effort is poor and perhaps drug use. Stand strong. In the end it is best for both of you. If he is bright, he can graduate on time with catch up if he is willing to put in the effort. It just doesnt sound as if he cares. There lies the problem. He has to care. You are doing an amazing job. And you are doing all you can do if son is not an eager participant. [/QUOTE]
