[quote=Anonymous]A tutor/Executive Function coach. That will help disentangle this from your parent-child relationship. And this person can have some real talk with him about what kind of track he is on. The reality is some kids need a 5th year to finish high school, or they need to take a lighter course load and make up a course in the summer. And that's okay! It's really not the end of the world, and it's certainly much better than the situation you're describing. Maybe you can get a meeting with the school to see if this is an option and what it would look like. Then at least you'll have less academics to manage. He won't be ready for college in two years, you say, so what do you have to lose? Have you read the book Smart But Scattered? It's a classic and there's a lot of good stuff in there. He says he doesn't care but he's probably just being defensive because he's overwhelmed and knows his situation isn't good.[/quote]
