I'm so happy I need to share

Long story short, my son had mono last fall. He missed almost an entire 6 weeks of school, even doing inbound schooling. They failed him for last semester due to days missed, even though his grades were good.

Two weeks ago, they told him they were going to take his license. We turned in more dr's notes, letters from his dr, etc just trying for him to them.

I got a text just a bit ago that they were going to let him keep his license.

A few minutes later, I get another text saying they passed him for the semester. The only class he failed was French. He's going to graduate on time!!!!

Y'all just don't know how much we've cried over him not being able to walk across the stage. I'm so happy right now I'm crying even more.

That's good news... i can't believe that they were being so harsh due to an illness.

I didn't think they would be, either. I honestly thought they were going to take his license this morning. Wed they put a note on his jeep saying he wasn't supposed to drive to school anymore.

that's awesome

the school systems are such jokes... glad they did something right.

He's a happy kid right now. LOL

We'd given up hope of him graduating on time. They told us in Jan there was nothing they could do, that he'd missed too many days. Funny how it took them wanting to take his license to overturn everything.

I still have nightmares that I have unfinished school work and I'm not going to graduate.

The school was going to take his driving licenses?!?!?! Can they actually do that?

Yes, the way the new laws work for those under 18, your drivers license is tied to your grades/attendance to school.

[sunbunny]

In NC they can. If you fail more than two classes, they take your license for a semester.

Here's what I don't understand about the license thing. A kid my son knows dropped out last year at 16, but he didn't lose his license. Makes no sense whatsoever.
