Kids often leave so they can go somewhere and get their stuff in order to qualify for college.

I just wonder if this is the case of Chandler gaining another blemish or its just another kid trying to get out of Lawrence North to better his chances for college.

I'd be more inclined to agree with you if not for the timing of the withdrawal. If he was leaving to get academics in order, it would make more sense to do so at the beginning of a semester, not two months before he is supposed to graduate. Of course, for all I know LN or the school he is transferring to operates on quarters or the high school equivalent. Still, given his history, I'm not going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

My guess is there was no way he was going to pass some or any of his classes. If that's the case, he could take a "W" or course withdrawal rather than an "F" ,which would further kill his GPA, and repeat the classes somewhere else. Looks like he will have to repeat the whole year at least. I don't know if you can go to college on a GED, but sounds like he isn't smart enough to pass that.

How do you change high schools and graduate with a month to go? Guess things have changed since this old man was in school:

At St. X from time to time, we had some kid who screwed up with a month or two to go and would get kicked out. He would then go to his local public high school and get his diploma. It happens but it doesn't change the fact that Michael Chandler is still an idiot.

OK, so I assume LN told him he wasn't going to graduate so he can just transfer over to Dumbbell High? Meanwhile, Lyons and Martin have to sit for a year. What a system.

Kid from my senior class dropped out t the beginning of the second semester of his senior year after failing three classes in the fall. managed to transfer to another Catholic school and graduate.

I'm sure there is now a wing of the school bearing his dad's name.

There is an article in the NYT discussing potential NCAA violations at UCF. Check out the XH 's twitter account for the link.
