[QUOTE="Josie, post: 326268, member: 1792"] How about trying an incentive for passing grades or whatever standard you decide? We did this for my oldest who just wasn't doing the work because she didn't feel like it. At first I was against rewarding her for something she should be doing any way, but I decided that in the real world, people do sometimes get bonuses at work for meeting goals. The incentive would obviously have to be something that motivated him. For my daughter, it was extra money. Another idea is to hire a tutor to come after school for a few hours to "help" him do his homework. If he doesn't really need help, then someone to keep him on track. [/QUOTE]
