He has repeated 6th grade. I thought that would make him care. It didn't . He is now in 7th grade. I am told he has above average intelligence. His handwriting is horrible. He hides homework from me. I go through his backpack at night, so IF he does it he doesn't turn it in. The boy has a 0% in critical thinking and a 39% in literature. I have talked until I am blue in the face, tried couseling, tried reward systems, restriction,tried essays as to why education is important, spanking when he was younger I have talked to the teachers. Anything I can think of, I have tried. I have even have a corporal in the army give him drills. I am at a loss. I am afraid that he will quit school when he turns 16. I can't seem to get through to him. Even when he gets home from school and actually does his homework, he acts like he hasn't paid attention all day and needs me to explain all the work over, and then expects me to give him the answers to his homework. I am at a loss. PLEASE HELP!
