My son is 15 and in Year 10 so is just in his 1st term of GCSE courses. I just had an open evening at his comprehensive and every teacher, without fail, said 'he is an A student with a current predicted grade of D'
I left feeling very upset and he is totally unfazed. He just says 'I'm lazy'. I've taken everything out of his room , his X-box, TV, computer etc and he doesn't care. His father works in Sctland from Monday - Friday and it's just my son and me. I work fulltime too and I am so tired of nagging him and getting upset etc. Has anyone got any ideas about how to motivate him to stop him from underachieving. He's a lovely natured boy but he just can't see why he should try at school. His older sister (22) workd hard and is now a teacher.
