[QUOTE="dirobb, post: 241667, member: 2858"] I feel for you. homework is always a battle for us and difficult child is 15. He school has relatively no homework, so it really makes no sense. We also fall into the he may do an assignment and just fail to turn it in (its too much trouble). he is now failing geography. we keep asking about tests. he says they are not doing anything in clas. we ask again each time raising our concerns that 2-3 week without a test in any class is unusual. Lo and behold a letter from the teacher arrives. He has failed two test since christmas break and has not turned in any extra credit for the test. so we ask him about it. he tells us it is not worth it for him to do the extra credit cause it is only five points and it wont help.....WHAT...and he refuses to bring his books home and study for a test this thursday. (he says they study in class...obviously it is not enough for him) We have be advised to prompt him but that he needs to have natural consequences take effect. This did not work last year. as he refused any help and was promoted any way reinforcing his concepts that... it did not matter he would still get to pass. Hopefully, the school talking to her will get through a bit. If nothing else it takes you out of the line of fire this time. [/QUOTE]
