132. As I said below, put him to work for his dad until he gets his shit together
Some 15 year olds just don't have the maturity or the interest to do well in a high school setting. Nothing wrong with that, IMO. Put them to work and let them learn some life skills. When he decides that being successful is important, he can get his GED and take courses at a community college and then transfer to a four year school.

The one size fits all model of four years of high school then, ideally, four years of college just doesn't work for some kids.
