[quote=Anonymous]I don't have any advice, but I could have written exactly this post, so I wanted to let you know you aren't alone!

We have a high level athlete, and that is the best thing going for him, will not consider pulling that. I keep hoping the very real possibility that he is hurting his athletic future with his lack of effort at school will resonate. He will be doing summer school, and I hope that will be a reality check. A minimal effort in the first place would have prevented summer school, I hope that clicks.

My husband and I disagree about a tutor. He thinks it's something we should push. I am not willing to spend time finding someone just to have another fight, because I expect exactly what you describe.

I am going to get an educational (ADHD) evaluation because a lot of times avoidance is a symptom of a bigger problem. We have already been down the road with some anxiety and depression symptoms. Things have improved greatly on that front, but I know he's not 100% and I think sometimes he really just can't pull everything together. [/quote]
