Anybody who has successfully turned around a lazy bright 16 year old boy please share your secrets. GCSEs looming and getting desperate.

Ds is so lazy. Does minimum. Mocks fine some good but a few not where he should be as supposed to be getting high grades in all.Got told at parents evening how lazy he is and how he hands work in late.This evening he knocked off a physics paper supposed to be 1 hour 45 in an hour as he was hoping to meet up with friends online. Did a really shoddy job. Then found yet another late English piece on his desk. Faffed around the whole evening not settled to it and doesn’t seem to care. Have given him the riot act and taken his phone.

Honestly at my wits end. Can’t face 4 more months of this. Such a shit attitude and a waste. He’s so disorganised on top. It’s driving me nuts.

What to do?

I've got one of those. His target Grades are 6 and his maths teacher says he is capable of a 7 but apart from music where he is predicted an 8 he's on course for 5's in English, Maths. Computer Science and Business Studies and will probably fail science..

He only needs 4 Grade 4's including English & Maths to get onto a college music tech btec course. He's got it all worked out. He's networking and has been investigating future degree courses. But he spends every waking moment on his music and will not work at his other subjects.
