My honest opinion....Have The Boy file for an appeal. Often times they can get one chance with financial aid.

Although JobCorps can be a great place for some kids, it is mostly a place for troubled kids to get back on track. My son went there by choice (we had no idea) to get his GED and is now a brick mason, doing well. His opinion, along with several others I have heard, is that there was a lot of fighting, some drugs, drinking...he said he just kept to himself, and he graduated early.

Edited to add: High School Diploma at 16?? He seems to be way ahead of the game really :-) If school isn't for him, get him to working. At this age, he could be management material in a couple years...even if he starts small. Also, volunteer work could lead to bigger and better things...If he pays back financial aid, he can go back to school when he is ready. So many options at this age...
