[QUOTE="Wonderful Family, post: 326326"] Thanks everyone. I like the idea of having a "back-up" plan and then letting difficult child more or less make the call. More than likely, he will pass into the 9th grade; the SD will send him to summer school to attend classes focused on the testing that is required; of course, this doesn't mean he really learned everything. KLMO - your suggestion about the school tutor/mentor, I'm assuming at school, is a good suggestion. We don't battle at all over homework. A typical day consists of us asking if he needs help, can I review your homework. We are politely told "no" (as I was a little while ago); but we will never, ever go back to the homework battles that we had a few years ago. I agree - you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. It would be so much easier if we had any insight into his head:) [/QUOTE]
