Ritalin?
Movies/comic-books about the historical events?
As a complement to the boring school-books?
Going around with him and asking homeless/unemployed people questions about if it's worth staying focused in school, and what they would do better if they could go back to when they where his age?
Best of luck!

Hmm... interesting suggestion at the end there. Not sure the homeless in our city are friendly enough for that kind of discord, but might be an interesting experiment.
Yes, I don't know, but maybe it could work?

Hi there I found calling the teachers etc and finding out if there is homework and getting it sent to you aswell so you know. Have you tried talking to the teacher about maybe changing it for him but set it to the same curriculum etc give it a shot. Try sitting down with him and just getting straight into it until its finished and have mini breaks and by making a routine of this by coming home they eat and you sit with them till its done and over time slowly let him do it on his own and use rewards as a way of helping him be motivated in doing it. lol every child is different.
Some good advice here, thanks! Unfortunately, most of what ends up marked as missing is classroom assignments they are supposed to do and turn in during the course of class, so it never makes it home. We have web grade tracking which is how we find out when he is doing poorly. Teacher of this particular class is also coaching one of the athletic teams so nothing will be added for a couple of weeks, then suddenly 20 new grades pop in all at once and we have to go back through it all to see what’s what.
We will get there. It might be kicking and screaming, but we will make it.
Sounds like an organizational problem if the work was done instead of a "interest" problem.
My son had that issue also.
I recommend spending some time each morning and night helping him get organized. After a week or so, have him take back over and remove yourself from the process again.
Also, make sure if he isn't self-correcting that you are withholding tv, electronics and other distractions.
Oh he has been grounded from his electronics. He just manages to find new distractions. Kind of like a dog seeing a squirrel. We will get there though. He is finally starting to see the gravity of the situation and how much work he is having to do to get his grade back up before the end of the semester.
Hopefully it sticks!!
Good luck, Parenting is hard sometimes!
