It could be that would be best for him. He isn't interested in studying right now... not for some vague sense of being able to get a better job out of it later.
Yeah, maybe so. He hasn't articulated it, but I think he may have realized that the football thing isn't going to happen.
However, I haven't brought this up, but we did relent and let him sign up to go back to Brazil. He'll be able to do his summer school online, so that's not an issue.
There's a lot of reasons we changed our minds. But last year's trip was a major growth time for him. We think this year could be as well.
