The only issue I see is if that ended up being my minimalist ds, he'd figure, "I did it once; I can do it again," and blow off til the finals again. I know dh did that in his day when he could...sigh.
Similar here - we've told ds that if such a thing would happen that we'd see deliberate issues (his have not been deliberate to date (yet he can be a bit fatalistic at times when he hasn't turned something in that he actually had done on time); this was just a rotten year and he's eager for the upcoming help), we'd support community college IF he showed dedication; he can then go from there (I don't see that as a step down; it may be his best way to ease in to college).
That's wonderful.
