Thanks Susang;
I am working closely with the high school, counselor and teachers and they are implementing modifications to his work load, etc. I have stressed to them that it's very important right now for my son to experience some successes in school in order to help bring his self-esteem back up. After 4 yrs of failures, he needs to feel something positive for a change. He is also now working with a resource teacher to help him in the areas that he is weak in. The teachers have even volunteered to stay after school and tutor him, but I have not been able to convince him yet to take them up their offer. The last thing he wants is to be in school any longer than he has to.
I don't think we have any Youth's at Risk programs here in Nova Scotia but I will certainly be checking that out.
Thanks for suggestions and support.
