First thing would be to determine why their not succeeding: Is it a treatable learning disability IE: ADHD or Dyslexia Is their a track where the child is succeeding ie: math, performing arts, athletics...
Are there discipline issues at home or with a particular instructor..... You can't just dump the kid if he's failing.. Scott A.

He wants to be a mechanic. Hard for me to say as this is so not my kids, but to a point I agree. Dana Also not all kids want or should be in a university entrance track. That may also be another thing to look at - if the kid isn't succeeding in a regular school, perhaps a curriculum more oriented towards work related skills would be better for him or her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Protect Your PC from viruses, hackers, spam and more.
