My DS is in year 9 and about to go on report again. He is disruptive in lessons by messing around and being the class clown. He performed well on the last report and he improved for a while but now his behaviour has gone downhill again.
I have spoken to him many times, he is not like this at home but wants to show off in front of his friends. He is a bright boy but have received emails to say he is not performing well now in tests. I am so frustrated with him, told him that being the class clown is getting him nowhere.
Has anyone’s DC been through this and come out well in the end? It is low level disruption but I don’t want it to escalate. I have considered asking him to be moved classes away from his friends but not sure if that will work.
He was extremely anxious in year 7 and now has gone the opposite - I feel like his is anxious and just wants to be liked.
