<p>Irving, looking back I do see how perhaps a boarding school could have been good for his kind of personality, however you must remember these problems really started a little over the last year, where he was just starting his junior year…so really at that point it would have been late. But even early in his hs school career, when he wans’t working up to his potential…yes it is something that maybe we would have considered. I have started taking long walks about 3 to 5 miles and it does help clear my head, I will say. You are very lucky to have the boss that you do, while my own boss and I are quite friendly and in fact share some of the same issues with our kids and often talk about it, she doesn’t go out on a limb the way yours does…sounds like a remarkable person!
Ironically my brother is taking my son tonight to talk to a military recruiter, mostly to impress upon him that decisions need to be made and of course my brother thinks my son could really benefit from a few years in the service and I will admit that there are times where I think maybe its not such a bad idea, I know it has done wonders for countless young men, at this point I will keep an open mind.</p>
