This has been an ongoing problem since second grade. He doesn’t listen, rushes through assignments, doesn’t bring anything home, misbehaves, and lies to get himself out of trouble. He was\/is very smart! But since he has been slacking in school so much he is starting to fall behind. He started off with straight A’s now he’s getting B’s C’s and D’s no A’s. We have tried taking away privileges, grounding him, making him do extra work, basically anything we can think of to put an end to this. This year we got him a daily planner to write all of his assignments in and his teacher signs off on it, and also writes how his day was (if he was good or bad). He’s been in school two weeks and has only had two good days. He was also erasing his homework assignments on the bus, now he has to write it in pen. I’ve talked to his dad (I’m step mom) about taking him to his doctor in case he has ADHD or something but he believes he’s just a stubborn child and will grow out of it. I don’t know what else to do to get him to take school more seriously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
