Is Boys’ State really worth it?

I think he meant that the meeting with the guidance counselor was to check the appropriate boxes for Boys State, not getting special permission to miss school. He was doing an internship last week, so I was thinking he was out of school for the summer.

In that case, I see no negative repercussions to make whatever decision feels sensible.

PS: He mentioned people earning “3 credits”, I’m not familiar with that “motivator” in our state. How does that work? They earn credits on their high school transcript? In my opinion that is detrimental to the spirit of the program as it attracts the wrong audience - as his impressions seem to confirm.
