Ok, lets look at this logically.
You say your child is very smart, which is a wonderful thing. That is why sending him off to camp, or to school would be a foolish move, learning at camps and at resident schools is nearly non existant, because they are always trying to treat this and that.
You say your sun is disrespectful, lets look at that. In your story you seem to do nothing diserveing of respect. You sent him to a out of disrect alternative school, which ruined his year. You and your husband are not even unifyed on what should be done. Why in the wrold should he respect you? And dont lay down a line about I diserve respect because of my position as parent, because thats bull, respect for a position in work is one thing, in the social and family interaction circles is completely diffrent. You have to earn the respect of a youth, with most it is already given freely, but if you botch it up it will be taken away. He does not respect you because of your past actions.
Somthing you also have to look at, smart children dont bend over and take it. Thats is the fact of youth, many of them can be sharper than the adults around them, and they have no difficulty seeing past any and all attempts to modify who they are. I would compare trying to break a smart independant child with trying to break a POW, it can be done, but why would you treat them like that if you care about them? Most likely, if you send him away he would hate you and disrespect you all the more, unless you break his spirit, then you give him a whole list of new issues.
If you want to send him off so some dis-honored drill sergent can scream at him, so be it, but it is not the best move you can make.

Remember, the impossible is just humanities way of being to lazy to use its imagination.

Overlordd, your credibility on this site is non-existent. Please go back to Dev-ville, or whereever you came from.
