[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 389928, member: 805"] fbm, welcome to the board! You have found a place where we understand and you will find you are not alone. Since your son is 15, I would assume that he is pretty set in his study and behavior patterns? (oh, I can hear you shaking your head saying, "what study patterns?"!) How involved has the school/teachers been this year? Are there any after school activities/clubs that he participates in that can be pulled? I'm guessing that since he's interested in programing he spends time on the computer at home? Do you have rules regarding computer time vs completed homework? Is your boy currently in talk therapy? Is he on any medications? Does he have an IEP at school where perhaps some of the homework assignments could be modified? I totally understand where you are coming from. I am the same way. Left to his own devises, my son probably wouldn't do any homework unless it was a cool art or science project. I started when he was really young, 7, setting a quite homework space and a set homework time. At 15, it's' kinda ingrained. I really place a priority on his school work because I feel the same way you do. I just think that in order for him to have a fighting chance in the future he needs to finish high school and learn some regard for the learning the process. I also feel that education can help our kids find a passion and I think that is so important to their ultimate happiness. Hugs, Sharon [/QUOTE]
