Ok maybe you wouldn't have this fear if you took away all TV, videoe games, sports and everythign else until he brought up his grades.   Use the money to get him a tutor

I know this will sound cold and uncaring but really it's not.\nIf he's having probs with sports and keeping grades up...take away the sports privileges. School work should be his main focus, then sports.\nMy son is in a couple of school activities and I've told him he either keeps his grades up or he loses the other activities.\nMy nephew is in ROTC, he has the same rule...keep the grades and homework up and done and turned in or you lose the courses you WANT for the ones you NEED. \nI think we all want our kids to do well in school, I do.\nKNOWLEDGE FIRST...then extra school activities.\nHope you find something that works.

I have one son in private and one in public. The one in private has always been highly driven & motivated in school and an excellent student.  The other son has never cared too much for school and just gets by. So, I decided to only send the older one to private school for the high school years.  The younger is in public school and I think this had been a relief for him. The pressure of private school is difficult.  It's very expensive and demanding.  I felt it was important to not set my younger son up for failure and it iseems to have worked out as the best decision. The older son thrived in high school and the younger one is now beginning to apply himself. Kids (even from the same parents are so different).  I think it is importsnt to give them what they need and it is okay if it is something different for each one.

I didn't necessarily have my children later in life, but honey, we had the same issue with our oldest son.  We have five, one girl, already in college and four boys.  All the other children are tiny, but my oldest son inherited the genes from my father's side of the family.  Which means he'll have a thicker build and be extremely tall (My brother is 6'4", cousins as tall as 6'7")  My son is only 15 and he's already 6'0" and 195 lbs.  Because the kids started teasing him at an early age, he developed this shyness about him and just didn't want to socialize with anyone.  Which meant, he didn't want to go into sports or any other activities, much less school.  THis was his first year in high school and over the summer, we had to force him to join something (we did it with all our children...our logic was get into something before you get into trouble) and he chose a summer football program.  He hated it at first because he didn't know anyone and was rather shy.  But within that first week, he had a ton of friends.  Because of his size, the coaches loved him, as did the quarterback in which he protected.  It's as if I have a different child.  All of a sudden, he became outgoing, the girls started calling and football is his life.  Before I knew it, he was begging to sign up for football when school started.  He already knew most of the kids from the summer program and because of his size, he knew he'd fair pretty well.  And as it was, he did.  He now loves school.  I can barely keep him home and for once...he's truly happy.  I felt horrible when this all started, so I feel your pain, but sometimes parents have to look outside the box, set our emotions aside and think about this logically.  If your son is tall, try signing him up for a basketball camp in your local area.  If anything, at least he'll meet other kids his own size who have the same issues...and  maybe it'll carry over.  The idea is to get him out there and sometimes that takes a little shove.  I know he's your baby and as a parent it's hard to do...but you have to ask yourself...what's harder?  Watching him so upset and depressed...or watching him smile while he relates with others that have gone through the same thing as him?  And if he's not sports enthused...find something else honey.  Kids today have so many options available to them.  But it is IMPERATIVE that you find something for him, and I do mean that.  Being a teenager is hard enough.  Being a teenager with no friends is suicidal.  I don't want to scare you, but not ony am I a mom...I'm a social worker and I see it alot.  It's the little things that make a difference to them and although I know you want to make him happy, he needs to find some happiness in himself too!\n\nI wish you luck!

I have trouble with the strictness at my school.  As much as I understand it, it's really a bummer for us kids that are actually well-behaved, you know?  *sighs*  It's sad...

yeah, i can help.  i can help you be a better parent by giving you some advice:  don't do your son's homework for him.  you are sending him to school to learn, aren't you?  how is he going to ever learn how to do anything if you spend days doing his work for him?  \n\nsure, he might end up with an A in first grade, but who cares about what you got in first grade?  you could make an argument that grades are important to his future if they are high school grades, but it's far more important that he actually *learn* things at this age.\n\nsheesh.

education in its ideal form would be tailored to each indivdual so that each students needs are being met.  It sounds like your child has special needs in that he/she is so far advanced that he/she may get bored by staying home.  My son is pretty close to the same criteria as your son and I know I am sending him to kindergarten because of his social interation, cognitive and problem solving skills.  Some kids mature physically faster than others as I sure you know, but I think they can do so mentally as well.  Send your child to school, he/she will benefit from the interaction with others and reinforcing what you have already taught him/her.

All you can do is encourage him, he has to want to do it.  You can't force someone into action, the most you can do is to try to show him the ways in which going back to school will benefit him in the long run.  Ambition and drive is something that a person has to have within and if he fails to see the importance of an education, then there isn't much that you can do.

he is too young to make such decisions. and then you should not insist on it at this age. most kids do not want to go but then they love school (for a while)and you can take him to school and leave him there for an hour when everybody is having fun and he fall in love with school but again for a while

I don't want to go." \n\n"Give me two reasons why you don't want to go." \n\n"Well, the kids hate me for one, and the teachers hate me, too!" \n\n"Oh, that's no reason not to go to school. Come on now and get ready." \n\n"Give me two reasons why I should go to school." \n\n"Well, for one, you're 52 years old. And for another, you're the Principal!"\n\nnow that u r in a good mood:)\ni advise u to go to school\nyour maths teacher makes u do sums so tht u learn\nhe is not benefiting in any way\nonly u r\nplease try to understand this\nlol and if he smells\nstand far away from him\nbut attend school surely!!!!!!!!!!
