Christina Draper has a son in high school who does very well on his Standard of Learning tests, but his grades tell a different story. Her son, a student at Eastern View High School in Culpeper County, is smart, she said, but is easily distracted and can become a distraction to other students. “He has trouble sitting still in class, and because of that, he gets easily distracted and then he becomes a distraction to others, and then the teachers have to interrupt their lesson to get him to quiet down,” she said. Draper said her son has done homeschooling before and works better and stays on track in smaller settings. And now there’s a program Draper’s son has been accepted into that allows him to take high school classes in that smaller, independent setting and still be a public school student.
