This school wants to push the kids through that are having a difficult time with their learning cirriculum style.

They do not offer a alternative but suggest a project that is designed to make the situation worse. These type of students who learn diffrently are frustrated and have low confidence due to the actions of these teachers. These students need an alternative not disiplinary route.

I found that Virtual High School for my son who has (Social Anxioty), offered by Indiana University in Bloomington to be our answer. This is a (College) Prep High School Diploma Program.

I don't know why schools don't offer this as an option.
