Reply to "Selecting the JUCO route"

What is sons GPA if u don't mind sharing. Some parents think low 3's is bad.

he has a yr left of HS, I would get busy finding him tutors, someone to teach him study skills, and ACT tutor as well. 

The thing that shocked me the most at sons school is players, esp freshmen who had grade problems. School had mandatory study hall, but son said many goofed off and didn't use time wisely. Coach talked to many about grades, and some lost scholarships, and were cut. Sure this happens everywhere. 

Its hard to play and keep up w grades. Coaches don't have time for immature kids who don't take it seriously, skip classes, or are lazy. 

Its not HS, where kids live at home, have parents who cook, clean,etc.

we need to teach our kids to be RESPONSIBLE  so they can succeed at college by themselves. Stop being their safety net, and let them fail if needed in HS-better than learning that lesson at college. Goes for non athletes too.

sorry I went off topic,I've seen more in 1 yr w son away at school then I thought. Learned a lot on how school/athletics/injuries, etc. works.
