== == Check with the high school counselor about getting a GED. To me, it is better to do that than to fill a seat in school for two more years and fail to participate. At least when the child changes his mind, he won't be able to go back to that sort of school--it will be community college or more.

It is considered truancy. Until your son turns 19 he is required by law to stay in school if you inforce this. I would start at the school for inforcement just because you may want to inquire about the law and what exactly happens to his criminal record or their maybe long court cases and perminate damage between you and your sons relationship. State compulsory education laws differ greatly, however there is no state which requires a person to remain in school after the age of 18. Although a person under the age of eighteen is considered in ALL states to be under the control of the parent(s), if the age of compulsory education law is under 18, there is little the parents can do if the minor wants to "drop out". Such contradiction in state law(s) is not unusual and often creates confusion in the "parent(s) vs. the minor child" power struggles.
