Re: Sad about my son.....

Hi daniel
I can only relate to you our experience. Our son is dylexic, not that bad, however, he did well in his exams and went on to college, at the end it was evident that he was university material. But D didnt want to go. To quote, he saw no reason to mix with a load of people not of his choice, get himself into debt, and if sharing clear up after someone else. So no, he wouldn't go. His tutor from the college asked us to try and push him into going but we wouldn't.
Four years later with work experience under his belt he's working at the school that you see on the bird cam, the house is just the offices, the school has about 2,000 pupils. D is part of the IT team 5 of them in the team, 3 of which have been to University but D has the work experience of video conferencing.
So life experience sometimes is more important that being academic
