<p>Thanks Packmom. I did not even think about a possible policy prohibiting him from taking classes at a community college while on Suspension. I’ll have to look into that–or have ds look into that.</p>
<p>He will not have to retake the specific class he failed the first semester. It was an elective. (A class in Ethics, ironically!) He said he really enjoyed the class but the grade was based on just his Midterm and Final. He failed both tests in Ethics, a common pattern for him in every subject since about 1st grade. Retaking Ethics with grade replacement is a possibility.</p>
<p>(In case you’re wondering, he has taken Study Skills classes and Test Taking strategy classes for many years, with no real benefit. He also went to a private tutor weekly since 6th grade. Every teacher, tutor and neuropsychologist agrees: he learns and processes information differently than most students.) </p>
<p>Congrats to your son for his incredible turnaround!</p>
