Maybe this kid just doesn't have the proper foundation to succeed?
Did he demonstrate abilities in art? science? technology? mechanics?
You can't just drop someone who can't draw, has trouble with computers, and couldn't figure out a mechanical problem if their life depended on it into a course and make them a web designer. (though schools will totally sign them up!). Some people just aren't cut out for it, and those that are probably practiced like crazy their whole life 'cause that's what was fun for them.The sad thing is, schools take credit for all that prior learning of successful grads, and claim they can teach it to you in 2 years. But really, they've just got some textbooks and some people to ask questions to. If you don't know what's important, 'cause you've never seen ANY of it, you'll take away far less than the person who came in well primed. and can fit the more interesting stuff into a well-honed mental framework.
