[quote=Anonymous]Somehow, you kid isn't owning the problem because part oft the problem is that he doesn't fit the mold you are trying to hammer him into. That actually is a big deal, and from his way of thinking, he doesn't want to do/doesn't see the need to do what you consider important. You can force the issue for another year, but why? In a year you will be locked in such conflict it may destroy your relationship forever. See if you can find something with real tangible physical results for him to do: does he like cars? Help him learn auto repair. Wood/building/creating in that way? A lot of 6th graders can go to shop classes. Cooking/food? Find him a culinary course. Also, I'd still consider private school. Mostly because there, all the kids will be doing the same thing and he won't stand out. [/quote]
