<p>There was never any adviser assigned to him, and I certainly do not have an email contact with the school weekly. If I do not write, they don’t.</p>
<p>Do most schools offer an assigned advisor ?</p>
<p>In Canada there is a very strict privacy law, I am discovering now, and I am not even sure, that the house parent has access to the kid grades. Their role seems to be much more disciplinary than about anything else.</p>
<p>“have him repeat 11th grade at another school”
I have been thinking lately, that the way out that all thing would be to take him out the school at the end of the year, as you say, and repeat 11th grade at another school.</p>
<p>But being unfamiliar with your Prep School System, I do not really know what I am entitled ( I know more now, than I did two years ago) to expect from any prep school, then how will I know, which one will really fulfill what is advertised in their brochure ??
We are already in May, would any school still accept him ?</p>
<p>Also, my son, is a lot more independent, now than he was 2 years ago, and of course a lot less maneuverable than he was. In a way, that’s a very good thing. BUT he really LOVES his school. Can you really force a 17 year old to change school without creating more problems than you solve.</p>
<p>“summer programs that ween teens of addicting games”
