My 14 year old DS is a lovely boy inside, however of late he has become so disengaged with school. Had parents evening the other day and basically every single teacher said the same. He's a good lad but is away with the fairies, gets distracted and silly with his mates, no effort with work does bare minimum etc.
Homework is always complete but rushed and I know he could do better.
He's late to school or lessons quite often because quite honestly he moves at a snail pace.
He loses everything and I mean everything. I am constantly buying new uniform and pens etc.
Now his science teacher has just phoned to say she's concerned about him he's not making any effort and he's lost his 3rd book this term.
I don't know what to do with him. I've tried nagging, reminding, talking, removing phone, nothing works and then I have other people saying leave him to it and he can reap the consequences. But then I just gets calls or emails from the school and I genuinely don't know what else to do! Really hoping it's a phase.
Any advice welcome.
