It really depends on what your son's problem is. When you say he's "active in class," does that mean he's disruptive? Is he a jokester? Too aggressive? Does he treat the teachers poorly?
A good first step would be to talk to his teachers and perhaps the school's guidance counselor to find out information about the kinds of problems he seems to be having. Then talk to your son about his behavior. It also depends how old he is; it can be helpful for you to understand why he acts this way.
When children act in a way that is problematic, it is usually because their emotional needs aren't being met in some way. Maybe he is bored at school; maybe he is having problems getting along with the other kids, or maybe school is challenging for him and he doesn't know how to ask for help. Whatever the case, you need to find out the source of the behavior and then take steps to address it. He may need an additional tutoring program if he is behind, or a gifted program if he is ahead.
Make sure your son is getting a balanced diet and has a balanced schedule- he should not have too many activities, but he should also have some kind of hobby, both intellectual and physical, to be an outlet for his energy.
It is best not to yell at or scold your son; children don't have the same understanding of their actions and the consequences of their behavior as adults do. Instead have a talk with your son, use your mother's intuition to get an idea of what's really going on with him, and take the approach that you want to listen to him and help him do better, whatever it takes. Trust me- your kid does not WANT to get in trouble or do badly, he just might not know what to do or how to do it.

There are many reasons why a child doesnt do well in class from teaching styles of the teaches to issues going on within the childs mind. The thing that you can do is to try and get a tutor for your son. If there is a college nearby, you can check in their education department to see if there are students there who are looking to practice teaching. they are most often willing to be tutors because it helps them learn, and it helps kids learn.
If money isnt a huge issue- you can try to go through Sylvan learning. If all else fails, maybe him coming home every night and you all sitting down together to work on his homework will help.
If all else fails, counseling to get to the root of the problm may be your next step

I'm having the same problem so right now I've come up with this plan. He has a conduct chart where they pull popsicle sticks if they act up and if they pull 0 they get smiley face, 1-squiggly face, 2-straight face, 3-oops face, 4-frown and go to the principle's office. The teacher said that once he pulled one stick he didn't care anymore. Well, now, I have came up with this. He is to clean his room when he gets home before dinner no matter what face he gets, if he gets squiggly face, he loses t.v. privaledges, straight face, loses t.v. and plays with no toys, the oops faces means loses t.v., toys and goes to bed straight after dinner and the frown face = all of the above plus a spanking. I actually told him the oops face gets a spanking too. He got a smiley face Monday but lost t.v. privaleges yesterday. so that's why I came up with this plan. Hope it works.

If you were in New Orleans at the time of Katrina, then your son may need some counseling - otherwise try after school tutoring.

seems to be acitive... seems is the key word. find out what is going on with your son outside of school too. is he doing hw? is he being bullied? does he hang out too much with friends? does he care about school? does he just not understand some subjects? possibly get a tutor. talk about school with your son. if together u fail to find a solution, talk to teachers and the principal. u may want to go to a psychologist, too, to see if maybe your son has a learning disorder like dyslexia. good luck!

try to set up a reward system , he does good he gets something cool ....he does bad or gets into trouble he gets squat but negitive attention . He should learn the doing good and getting showered with positive attention and maybe a small gift is better than the alternative ........
