Um. \nThis sounds like a very, very important question.\nA question that you'd very much like other people to help you out with.\nA question that you'd like deep, thoughtful answers to.\n\nSo what the heck is the question?????

Have you talked to your son to see if it is what he wants to do?  If it is, just let him know that it may be a little harder and he may not the get A's and B's he is use to but he can't get discouraged and quit.

He expects a lot and I know its hard sometimes. But he knows your potential. I know sometimes you just can't get a perfect grade. Try talking to him assure him and prove to him that you do work hard and prove that to him and try explaining that its not possible to get perfect grades all the time. Good luck to you. Hang in there and don't forget he loves you.

Bless you in your endeavor! Just to start out, you could surround him with books...give him time outside...not too much of the TV or video games or ipod...don't completely take it away...or he'll hate homeschool, just don't let him use that stuff during "school hours"...so he'll find something productive to do. Ask him what he wants to learn about and do a Unit Study...but don't overdo it, let him take the lead...but he may need you at his side for a while until he realizes he doesn't need a teacher to learn, just the desire to learn. The library is a great place to get all of the "curriculum" you could ever need. You could get him some science kits, or let him start a rock collection, or buy him a telescope so he could begin studying the stars, the possibilities are endless. I don't know why we call it homeschooling, it's really universeschooling...but I won't get into all of that...I'm homeschooling my 4 children and I wouldn't trade it for the world. They LOVE it and would not like to go back to school. \n\nI don't know where you live, but I'm sure you could find a homeschool support group near you. I'm in the Los Angeles area...many, many groups to choose from.\n\nThe best to you and your son!

The best thing for you to do is just keep talking to him but with a little more force. He  needs to know you are serious and you will leave him and take the children if it gets to that point. Explain to him that you need to be appreciated fast because that point in time is drawing nearer by the day.

I think one solution might be for your son to simply get his GED. This will allow your son to be able to finish high school, and then he can possibly start college sooner. And by doing that, I am sure that any college will have a math class high enough to challenge him.\n\nI know that my high school allows students to take classes at the Community College near by for free. You could talk with a counselor at your son's high school and see if they offer a similar program. By doing that, your son could take a math class at the college and not be so bored. It also gives him both credit for high school, and for college. Which is an added bonus. \n\nThe best of luck to you, and if you have any other questions about what I've suggested, feel free to email me at prettyladykatt@yahoo.com

Do not make any moves in his direction.  If he really wants to see his son, he will come to you and ask.  Make him ask you, not through a friend.  That way you will be able to see him face to face and judge his sincerity and truth for yourself.\n\nDo not let him fancy talk you...remember, your number one concern is the welfare of your child.  It may not be in his best interest to see his father if his father will be doing nothing but causing trouble between the two of you.  No child needs be surrounded by troubled parents that can't get along.  Make sure you are both in the right place before sharing your child.  I have already been through all of this.

Just listen to his advise...consider it..and make your own decision. His ideas may actually be good. Ask him nicely to please watch his language in front of the child.

Realize.. \n\n* Your parents love you and want to c their son lead a successful life in future. Do you want to spoil that.\n\n*If you study - People around you will respect you.\n\n*If you dont study - No parents will want to give their daughters marriage to an uneducated boy..THINK :D\n\n*If you study you will have a bright future.\n\nMore or less.. Be with your parents most of your time and you will get to the study business automatically...thatz the way how it's been for me :)\n\nNow i am in a university abroad without my parents..i also lost my  interest ;) lol

Ask him could you compare notes for a test coming up and act as if you have a problem understanding a section you know he has down packed.  Then take it from there

Why does he say that he is skipping school?  Is he going and hanging out with friends?  Is he by himself?  \n\nThere could be several different reasons why he is skipping school.  He could be bored at school, he could be heavily teased and tries to avoid it, he could feel stupid and seeks to avoid that, etc.\n\nYou need to find out why he is skipping.  Once you do that, you can work to help fix it.  \n\nIf he feels stupid, get him a cute female tutor.  That will get him to pay attention and seek to do better.\n\nIf he is teased at school, he might need a new image.  Take him to a contemporary clothing store and a hairstylist.   Enroll him and either yourself or your partner in a fitness class (like weight lifting) at a municipal parks and rec facility.  Sad, but true, most teens (and everyone else) are very superficial.  If you do not dress or look like you belong, you won't.\n\nYou might want to bite the bullet and talk to his friend's parents.  Explain what is happening and ask their opinion of your son.  Ask how they handle their children.  It is embarrassing to do this, but maybe they know something that you don't.\n\nFind out some of the things that your son loves.  Enroll him in classes that will help him learn more about those subjects.  If he loves music, enroll him in guitar or voice lessons.  Let the teacher know what the problem is... if they're decent, they should be able to show the link between knowledge and performance of the activitiy (i.e. music is mathematically based).\n\nGood Luck!

I would contact a Lodge local to where your son attends school, or the Grand Lodge governing that State or Territory.

well for the life isn't fair comment tell him he is lucky to learn that at a young age. As for his attitude. Thats a tuff one I have kids his age and I firmly believe in restricting the peers he/she hangs out with. Also if it is possible get him involved in activities after school. Baseball or whatever he is in to. If he is not interested, make him do it for one season or one whatever depending on what you choose. I did this and my daughter cried and stomped her feet. Now she plays softball every chance she gets, and I can tell her if she is not good she wont play. It's hard to give advice without knowing your exact situation but I hope this helps. Remember in a couple of yearsthere wont be much you can do about anything so stand your ground he will thank you in the end.

Keep telling him how proud you are and keep up the encouragement.  When his Junior year rolls around, apply to EVERY SINGLE scholarship offered.  There are websites you can go to that provide thousands of scholarships.....the more he applies to, the more likely he is to get some.  Also, make sure to call the colleges he is interested in his Junior year so they can send you information on their scholarship programs and any grant or federal aid programs they offer.  Good luck!!

Your daughter should talk to her advisor for guidance.  Your son must be strong in math to go into engineering.  A good university depends on where you live and whether you want him to live far from home.  Again, his h.s. councelor can help him.

Make sure you understand the admissions process. Here, they assess and observe each individual child, and then when they have a pool of acceptable candidates (that is, ones they think will thrive in the school environment), they need to narrow the acceptance list down to fit the number of spots available. With a field of 30 acceptable applicants and 15 spots, they handpick 15 to balance ages, gender and abilities. In other words, they don't just take the 15 "smartest".\n\nThat said, if you think admissions missed some key qualities your son has that would enhance the class environment, certainly bring those up with your contact. A good admissions office should offer good communications with prospective parents.

If you mean that your son is in 12th grade this year, I would strongly advise not changing schools. Let him graduate with his class and send him to summer school to improve his writing and reading or get him a tutor. Your son will have to be motivated to improve his skills himself in order for any improvement program to work.
