[QUOTE="klmno, post: 535303, member: 3699"] I think we are going to be able to squeeze in E getting behind-the-wheel driver's ed here in this small town, between school ending and the actual move. (We are home now if I forgot to mention that.) I thought they included that at his sd but they don't. Then, I'll be letting him drive some with me on his learner's permit. He has to keep that until next Feb. so he will have plenty of time for practice. We had thought of the back roads in that county being advantageous for driving experience, too. It will be a while before I want him on a busy interstate. Fortunately, they have the secondary route. We are talking about college, too. If his dream doesn't happen right away after HS, he can go to the university nearby which he should be able to get into. He could live at home, saving us money and providing less opportunity for the partying temptation (ie- flunking out and/or getting into trouble again). he'd be driving 20 mi in one direction and I'd be driving 20 mi in the other- but I'd save 7000-8,000 per year on room and board for college- roughly. He could always transfer later or just get his Bachelor's of Science there. Plan C is to start with the community college. All within proximity to make this work. The possible "foot-in-the-door" to work with farm animals and petting zoo animals while still getting an advanced diploma is a Godsend. It's a stretch but who'd a thunk I'd ever landed this job? He loves the idea and said himself there would be nothing else to do except what he's supposed to be doing. If E's dream college is possible right after HS, I will move at the end of the 1 year lease to someplace closer to work and where it costs less so I can afford to pay that college tuition plus room & board. Still, student loans may be needed but it won't be out of the league compared to a lot of other students. The county is pretty neat-- I think it's known for being farm and horse country- yet it's plenty close enough to get to entertainment and cultural events in the nearby cities. [/QUOTE]
