I was kind of in the same place. I just couldnt stand school. I had failed a few times and was in the 9th grade, not because I was stupid, but mostly because I just wasnt interested in learning and would sleep in class. At the time my Dad was rehabilitating from an injury and decided to get his GED. When he came back with a GED preparation book I took the "test" and passed it very easily. I then decided that I would get my GED and quit school. I went to the GED class and took their test and passed it, so the teacher signed me up for the real thing. After I passed it I signed up at the local trade school in Electronics Technology. I had always been interested in Electronics and by then I knew that I didnt want to do manual labor like my parents always had. I completed that in two years and have been working ever since and making very good money.
I would check to see if your area has a GED program that he can go to. Mine was a couple of hours a few nights a week. The teachers can help him pinpoint the areas that he needs to learn to pass the test. I think what is most important though, is that he needs to want to make something of himself. Make him understand that even though he quit school, it doesnt mean that he cant go about things a different way. encourage him to get his GED so that he can go to a trade or vocational school. At the very least, if he cant pass the GED try and get him to sign up for a vocational school program that doesnt need to have a diploma like air conditioning and refrigeration.
