[QUOTE="nvts, post: 71645, member: 3814"] Is there a way that he can "try out" one or two honors classes? If he's academically "up there" his refusal to do homework could be directly related to the fact that he absorbed what he needed during classtime and doesn't need to do homework because he already knows it. Basically, it could be boredom with the curriculum. Rather than throw him into an environment that would be both academically and socially challenging, why not see if he'd be able to handle an honors class in his favorite subject? Then if he does really well AND is able to make friends in his new class, incorporate more challenging academics as he adjusts. Just a thought from the peanut gallery! Beth [/QUOTE]
