My name is Jenn, and I'm a 27 year old married and babied chick. In addition to a husband, a seven year old daughter, and a five year old autistic son, I also have four cats, three hermit crabs, two frogs, a few fish, and one snorty little Pug. I work from home doing a variety of writing and even some web design. I love blogging, digital photography and web design.
My eleven year old brother’s out of control behavior is dragging him down. Sadly, he may not pass the fifth grade. And he should – when he puts his mind to it and simply goes to school, participates in class and takes tests, does his work and completes homework and projects, he’s a straight A student.
Now? His defiance and stubbornness has him failing, literally. His last day of school is on June 6th, and I have serious doubts about him graduating.
I’ve been trying to talk my mother into at least considering boarding school. A school such as the Carolina Springs Academy – School For Struggling Teens could step in and help out. Boarding schools are great for struggling teens and their family. Now, my brother isn’t quite a teen – he’ll be twelve in July – but he’s close enough. This past year has been a wasted one, despite my mother doing her best, myself and my husband stepping in, teachers trying to do what they can, and various social service agencies trying to lend a helping hand.
A boarding school – where teachers and other adults work one on one with teens to help them overcome their difficulties – may be just what my brother needs.
