@rscgrad -
I have made peace with the situation. He retook the ACT and got a 24 on math! This puts him out of remedial at most schools and he has decided that he will take any required math at the local SUNY CC over the summer after his first year; as long as he gets a C, the credit will transfer. Hopefully, the 24 will suffice to show colleges that he is capable.
Our school district is also a cluster with CC. Very high opt out rates in the younger grades. I tried to opt S17 out of the CC math tests and was told that if he didn’t take those, he wouldn’t be allowed to take the real regents exams. Unlike in the younger grades, the HS tests are needed for graduation.
You relocated to Ohio? How is your H practicing law? Was he already admitted there or does he hold the type of job where admission to the bar doesn’t really matter? I am a trial attorney so I couldn’t work anywhere else unless I got admitted and, at my age, I don’t really relish learning all new laws.
Good luck to your D on her audition. We have looked at Otterbein, but the real issue is that my H doesn’t travel well and it would be nearly impossible to visit S17 and see any of his work. For that reason, he has decided to try to stay within a couple of hours of home.
Wagner, mentioned by someone else. fits this bill, as do Purchase, Pace, Post and a few others.
Thanks for the good thoughts.
