[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 233836, member: 3419"] Boy, does that sound familiar. We went the tutor route. We hired a teenager. She basically sat there and let difficult child boss her around. :( We sent him to Sylvan. It did wonders. He stopped. He backslid. (It's expensive.) We held him back a yr. That helped a lot. The teacher has after-school hrs. difficult child lied to us and told us she wasn't in. Now she emails us her schedule so the parents can keep tabs. This yr, the principal and teacher put him in in-school suspension for two days and made him sit alone and catch up with-all his work. It worked. And he's gotten 100s and A's ever since. I rarely help my son with-his homework. I just tell him that if it's not done, there's no TV, no gaming, nothing. Oh, and then there's that ISS thing ... :) I don't know if that would all work for your son. Mostly, I'd say just let him reap natural consequences. Lousy grades mean no TV, no fun stuff. It sounds like he's got a TV in his room. I would remove it. (Not when he's home.) [/QUOTE]
