Some of you may remember that my eldest started BS at an undisclosed Eight Schools school that was a terrible fit for him. He would have been class of 2019, before we mutually decided to not continue at the school. He did want to come back to our LPS, and the best day schools in our area were full. So he came home, took a GED test, and entered community college at 16. Well, I am happy to report that he is finishing his AA degree this May, and has been accepted into a highly-regarded animation program at a university here in CA.
I guess my point in posting this for any who are out there wondering if there is life after leaving BS–the answer is YES! While his experience was an incredibly hard journey, he persevered along another path, and all has ended well. BS is not always the be-all-end-all for every kid.
