A Second Chance with Basic Skills Traditional high school didn’t work out for Devin Roth. Neither did his family’s attempt at home-schooling.  After relocating from Connecticut to North Carolina and battling frequent periods of illness, Devin found himself in the difficult position of falling behind in his schoolwork and lacking support from his teachers.
