[quote=Anonymous]Boy age 13. Just does not see the purpose in school and does not care that he’s failing. Completely impatient with it. Incentives don’t work. Punishment doesn’t work. He politely just refuses or doesn’t participate in school projects. Yes I know there’s a group of people here who just say take away all electronics and punish him till he complies but that just doesn’t work for this kid. Some depression going on but it’s medicated. He just doesn’t care about School but continues to do very well on standardized testing but grades are nearly failing in all subjects. Can’t imagine how this is going to play out when we move to high school next year. It’s been a full year with this attitude so it’s not just a passing phase. And seems to be getting more entrenched. Any advice? [/quote]
