[quote=Anonymous]I would start with cutting off electronic access and then limiting friend access. He doesn't get to decide to opt out of school. You can adjust your acceptable bar, meaning he can become a C student instead of an A or B student, but I would let him know that comes with some tradeoffs, i.e. that he might need to go to community college rather than a 4-year right away or that he will need to pursue vocational school after high school or look to the military as his next step. But don't let him come and go freely if he's failing. If he's committed to becoming a C student, ok, but don't spare him from what that means for his future.[/quote]
