I think it really helps them if you study with them.

I would say try finding ways for him to have fun while studying. Maybe come up with new games that help him study at the same time. Of course, that also means you helping out a bit.
Another thing that may help him remember things he study is to find relations to stuff he's already interested in. For example, I remember the Hundred Years' War started in 1337 because I know 1337 is also a type of language some people use online. I'd also remember things if they are referenced in interesting movies I have seen. Movies probably help the most with history class though, but in some cases, some science fiction does teach some stuff from science.
Inventing creative ways to study is definitely one of the best ways; however, helping him get involved in a study group might help too. It works better if he studies with friends though.

give studying a try? Doing his best in school is his JOB for now- it is his obligation and responsibility to study and do his homework! I'm sure there are plenty of people who find their jobs boring, but they do them anyway- that's life! So, boring or not, he needs to get to it! My grandson isn't keen on studying either- I don't think there are really a lot who are- but he's a good student who makes good grades and he knows he needs to keep them up because that is what he is capable of. I do give some guidance with homewotk, but he is responsible for finding the answers. Good luck!

He probably just has a hard time concentrating. I do really well in school but I suck, badly, at studying. I can't concentrate for the life of me. Maybe it would help if you studied with him. Ask him questions and everything, don't ask him to study by himself. I'm a sophmore and sometimes I ask my mom to read things out loud to me, or let me read things to her. It helps me remember and I can concentrate better. Or I'll ask her to help with my vocab stuff for my english honors class, it helps me remember those better too. Maybe it will help him as well. Good luck.

supposed u give him the reward program... tell him that if he improves in his studies u'll give him a reward.. what sort of a reward? that depends on what he really wants... the reward program will motivate him to study more... so go ahead and try it...
