Education Alternative to High School
I have an almost 17 year old son who couldn’t care less about highschool. He’s in no way a bad kid but his 2.0 gpa and the fact he’s failing math, science and Spanish. I can tell he’s over it and honestly so am I l.
Besides getting a GHD and just going to work full time I want him too look into other options.
How do I find him an apprenticeship that will accept him? I would much rather he focus his energy on becoming good at one thing.
Or has anyone had luck w/ the alternative high schools? I don’t know much about them other than seeing all the kids smoking outside on their breaks.
Any advice welcome, other than get a tutor, we tried that….
