[QUOTE="witzend, post: 117769, member: 99"] M was often the same way. He never applied himself although he could easily do the work. He tested at a 135 IQ, could read and write at age 3, yada yada yada. It seems difficult to think that you should have to withhold something at home for school behaviors. M has muscular dystrophy, so sports weren't something he could do. Would your difficult child's coach be willing to set a minimum standards on grades/homework for participation? In HS, M was active in drama, and it required a minimum grade level to participate. Of course, M could pull his grades up with a good test score any time he wanted. But, he wouldn't have done even that if he hadn't wanted to be in the plays. Maybe you can get together with the coach and ask if he would be willing to work with the school on a weekly progress report type thing. "Get your work done, or don't play." My experience was, if I tried to regulate school behavior, everyone lost. [/QUOTE]
