My son has had issues all his life. This is part of the reason we home school. Currently he has a sucky pdoc and seems to be in a mix episode. He's 12, this is only going to get worse. He's in 8th grade. We're preparing for high school. We've had to drop him to 3 classes. We were going to drop him to one class but he's getting B's in 2 classes so we let him stay in them. He still has two classes after these to just get general ed for 8th grade. Our plan for him like most parents we wanted him to get the college ready 24 credit diploma. But that would mean he'd have to take 6 classes a year to graduate on time. Now we have to aim “lower” for the 18-hr career tech diploma. That's year round classes and a tech class so he can finish close to “on time”. I want him to have something to”fall back” on if he doesn't complete a degree. Has anyone lowered their expectations that young because of BP?.
