[quote=Anonymous]I say this kindly as a HS teacher and a parent of two teens, one with ADHD and one without. Don’t waste your money on a tutor if he doesn’t want it. It could be ADHD, it could be a million other things or he could be going through a rebellious teen phase. One thing I know for sure, you repeatedly emailing teachers, counselors and hiring supports if he isn’t willing will not help. 14-15 were the toughest years and battles with both of mine and I work with teens for a living. I had to back off and change my parenting style. If your kid is suffering from depression or some sort of mental health crisis then you need to intervene. If he is digging in and refusing to work then sure, take away some sort of privilege until he does xyz. But no, don’t hire a tutor unless he wants to go or demand he meets with Mrs. Jones 3x week.
