My son will be 16 at the end of this year. He is very smart, an amazing memory and an ace at Maths and after years of the high school telling me there would be ways for him to set exams am now being told it is not possible as they are unable to extract the potential from him and they don't have any staff qualified enough to work with my boy.
It's really frustrating because it seems like such a waste, we can't move schools before that is mentioned as we live in a small town and there is only one high school and my son attended the ASN department of the school.
Am getting really down because as smart as my boy is he doesn't have great social skills or care skills and it is not likely he will work or leave home so I suppose exams are kinda pointless.
So now am trying to work out how to move forward with my son to give him a full life if that makes sense, when he leaves school I need to be able to make his days etc worth while but how?
I hope I am making sense
