[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You might need to let him try things his way, and then face the academic consequences of not getting his work done. DD was refusing to do homework after school one marking period of 6th grade. Seeing the impact it had on her grades was enough of an incentive for her to go back to doing the work the next quarter.[/quote]

OP here.  I only have a minute but he really doesn't care much about grades or the consequences of his semi crappy grades.  He got one C+ the first trimester and then he got 2 C+s the second trimester.  All of the homework assignments are posted online so he can't say that he didn't know what to do for homework.  I was totally different as a kid.  I cared a lot about my grades and wanted to do everything "right."  He takes after his dad- lol.[/quote]

I think this is the bigger problem.  My son also can waste time with the best of them but he cares about his grades so although he's a procrastinator he gets the work done (eventually).  If he doesn't care about his grades he will find distractions whether he's online or not.[/quote]
