[quote=Anonymous]First of all, you should have him evaluated for LD issues and for possible depression. Most kids don't just stop doing homework unless there's a reason. Its sometimes hard to spot depression in a teen, but this is a red flag that you should at least look into. Second, look into changing schools. If he's refusing to do homework, I don't care how brilliant he is, the school isn't teaching in a way that he's going to learn. You were probably drawn to a competitive school because he's so bright but there are plenty of other schools around that challenge kids intellectually. He's in 9th grade and you are worried about college when you should be worried about the next three years. Its a long time in the life of a teen and you don;t get those years back. You need a plan for the problem itself. If he is truly checked out it could become a far more serious problem. You should address it now.[/quote]
