I've convinced my 24 year old bf to go back to HS... when he dropped, he was in the 10th grade, which I am currently going into. They have already put me in Calculus, while he failed Algebra I, so has to take both Algebra I and Algebra II. It completely loses him. How can I help him without it seeming like I'm actually helping him? (male pride is such a pain)

In most states, you're ineligible to attend high school basically when midnight strikes on your 21st birthday. Do you mean he's taking equivalent classes at the community college?
If you're a whiz kid 10th grader in calculus, I imagine the man...who is dating a 10th grader?...might already have some kind of sense of inferiority. I should not judge I know, but I do wonder what the two of you would have in common...
If you are interested in helping him, though, maybe you could just have study sessions together, a chance to spend time together when you can just look over at him when he's getting frustrated. Maybe he'll even ask you about something you can help with then, who knows? Maybe going out afterwards or little rewards like a foot massage when he finishes his homework could motivate him?
It is very difficult for most men to deal with a woman smarter than he is, especially if she's almost 10 years younger. If his pride is already getting in the way, then it likely always will. And I know how you want to help him, believe me, but it is not within your power to save him if it is not a choice he will make for himself.

HE IS GONNA LOOK REALY STUPID SITTIN IN A HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOM. TELL HIM TO GET HIS G.E.D IT IS FASTER AND EASIER. AND U SHOULDNT HAVE A 24 YR OLD BF ANYWAY.
