Your son will succeed in life with or without the TAG program, not because of his great intellect but because of his great heart. Let him follow his heart. The world is full of opportunities for him to cultivate his mind, but let him do it on his own terms. You have a son who loves his sister and is patient and kind. He appreciates his friends and doesn't aspire right now to move away from them and set himself apart. Even if he stays in regular classes now, by the time he gets to middle and high school, he will automatically start moving away from some of his classmates, as he discovers that he easily grasps abstract concepts that other kids struggle with. The patience he has learned from helping his sister will help him in dealing with the differences he discovers between the way his mind works and the way most other minds work. At this point, if he is not bored in school and he is happy with his life, why pull him out? Let him develop his own enrichment program based on his own passions and interests. He will do just fine. He sounds like he has wisdom, which is far more important than mere intelligence. He has already told you what is the right thing for him.

First off,I am sorry to hear your son did not get accepted at IL.It is traumatizing for any student who applied, think they will get accepted then rejected.Universities want the best for their schools but reality is.If your son had above average,average grades,was attentive in high school,participated in activities such as sports,band,drama,ect.The school would've gave your son recognition.There is nothing you can do about getting him in the university yourself.It is up to your son.He could do 1) write to the university to the dean of the school and explained why they did not accept your son into a university 2) have your son make an appointment to speak to the dean 3) if no satisfaction,then it is best your son apply to a different school.\nBeing rejected doesn't mean your son will not get accepted anywhere.Tell your son not to give up hope.There is a school who is willing to accept him.\nBest Wishes

Joe Horn went to junior college and look at him.  You could try to contact teams, but it's much easier if you just go where they are already looking for players and that's colleges.  If you have ever had any skills, they probably already have scouting reports on you from High School before you dropped out, but most teams would probably worry that if you couldn't dedicate yourself to school, how will you dedicate yourself to a program?  It's an uphill climb. Good luck.

I only know personal opinion and experience.  I dropped out due in part to a car accident and bullying.  I would say some drop out because of bullying, personal problems at home, drugs or they have to get a job.\n\nThe consequences can be an inability to get a good job, lack of education, or if the drop out was due to drugs, an increased drug problem.\n\nI was lucky, before I dropped out I was in honor society, so I was pretty educated.  I went a few years later and got my GED and have been able to work as a paralegal for the last 14 years.  But I can look at people like my older sister, who for years either had a husband supporting her or lived on welfare to raise her kids.  She's now in her 50's and works as a house maid.  She dropped out far earlier than I did and she lacked and still lacks a lot of education.\n\nI push education with my children, because I know where you get without one and I know how much better off they will be with a high school diploma and a college education.  \n\nI hope this helped a little.

The kid is hard... he goes pro and is a top 10 pick.  Think about it this way...if someone offered you $10MM to do something you were going to be doing anyway, would you stay and do it for free or take the money.  He can always take night classes to earn his degree if he wants it!

i'm glad to hear of your sons interest in mixed martial arts. it is good to know there is another group of younger people ready to come up, along with myself. i would tell you though that the best way is to start small. get him into one of the smaller organizations to get started with so that he can get noticed. uncooked promotions is a great place to start. and they have an application to fight on their website if you think he is ready right now.that would be my suggestion for your first place to go.

He can get into most colleges and universities with a GED, but that's not the only issue of concern for him (and you). What does he intend to do in lieu of attending classes? Does he have a job? Is he interested in going to college later on? How is his social development? Will he be completely cut off from his peer group when he drops out of high school or does he have a wide circle of friends outside of school? These are some questions you should both consider carefully, but it's your life (and his) and your decision to make. I hope it works out for both of you.

I really like eminem and not only do i have his cds and his poster on my wall,but my friend turned his life around in order to go to a music college because eminem gave him hope that he to could make a career in music.But him being a good role model...to other ppl yes because he gives them hope that they can make it up from the streets!!And a big NO when it comes to his daughter he is always on the road, drinking,drugs,his daughter is forced into home schooling because of violence directed at her from students and the media and all he has provided for her thus far is a broken home violence directed at her mother who hates him with a passion and has sole custody!!

He ought to sign a deal with a Rap/Hip-Hop label, seems as though in that genre you can have no talent but as long as you have a criminal record you can get a record deal.

Have you talked to your son to see if it is what he wants to do?  If it is, just let him know that it may be a little harder and he may not the get A's and B's he is use to but he can't get discouraged and quit.

Don't fear.  As the person stated above, your son can always qualify for student loans.  You credit won't matter, and neither will his.  He must simply stay in school and he can not bankrupt on the loans.  These loans are backed by the government.  Granted, he will only qulaify for 7500 in loans, but work-study could be an option or he may have to get a job and pay the rest of in a payment schedule.  Maybe he should consider a state school.

Of course.  Without a highschool record, though, it's going to be much harder, if not impossible, to get recruited.  You'll have to go on as what's called a walk on.  Enroll in school, and then go out for the team just as you would have in high school.

if he's in high school he can just go to the guidance counsler. I'm sure there's career websites online. I've used them before. He could talk to people of the professions he wants to be in. That always helped for me. Seeing what the career is like upclose, instead of reading about it is better. You could give someone in that field a call,set up a meeting and your son can try different aspects of what he's thinking about being. Find his strong points, decide which careers they would be good for, and go from there. Websites ususally have questionares involving what career is good for you. If he's at a local college, they have career counslers there as well.
