<p>Ohhh, we’re on this same ride with S2, but he would have been a senior this year. Is now working, registering for a CC class, and most importantly, was evaluated and dx with ADD inattentive. You have to try and not see the lying as a moral issue – it’s a flight response. </p>
<p>Does he want to go back? Does he need to regroup? I caution against the send him back concept unless you and he feel like he knows what to do this time. I think it’s less important to analyze what went wrong than it is to plan what to do right in a concrete, sustainable, accountable way. </p>
<p>We spent a fortune on tuition before we realized something more than sheer immaturity and lack of motivation was at work. Time spent getting good answers might be more valuable than time spent in school, right now. But you know you kid better than any of us. Hang in there</p>
