[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 712521, member: 21066"] I'd like to see the reaction on his face when his teachers tell him he might have to go to summer school to get caught up and graduate on time. I am so glad his teachers called this to your attention. Do you think not being eligible to play academic sports will be enough of a motivator to get his grades up? Now, to the why part. Is he just going through a bored, apathetic, uninterested stage? Are his classes too advanced for his level? For example, is he in AP or college-age, but would do better in just the regular level classes? When did the change happen, and does he go through these stages every now and then? Normally, kids are either strong in math or English--not both. So, if his grades are weak in both areas, I would recommend a tutor for the subject he truly does struggle with, and some moral support for the other class. It sounds like there is one class he needs help with. As for the other class, maybe it's just a matter of getting motivated, and the teacher making the material more interesting. Boredom is a GPA killer. [/QUOTE]
