I am so excited about some new school decisions we made about our oldest 2 kids. Public school for our oldest was just not working for him. He is very intelligent, but was only getting on the B honor roll in normal classes, while having test scores for "highly selective" colleges! He was too distracted by something or was just too bored in those classes, or both.
Kaytlin did not want to take required courses in the school district this year, so in searching out her options we found the perfect option for Drew. There is an online public high school that they can attend while still attending the local one for electives, plus Drew can take state-paid college classes that will count for high school credit. We hope this will challenge him and help him keep his focus where it belongs, while still allowing him to have the social contact he needs with the electives and extra-curricular activities. It was just so heart-breaking to see him at the 72% of his class because he is too bored to do his school work, when he should be much higher ranking according to his college accuplacer testing.
I can't wait to see how this works out for Drew and Kaytlin!
