[quote=Anonymous]OP here. This is very helpful. Volunteer service hours - wow! I can't even imagine my son being willing to show up for that. How and where do they do that? Maybe I should look into that, as a way to get DS to think beyond his own concerns. I favor stepping out of the consequences business, and just let the school's consequence system work. If I don't ask him about the homework he won't have to lie. The school has enough built-in consequences for not doing the work, including after-care requirement for repeated missed homework. I am going to talk DH into trying again with the hands-off approach: I guess we'll have to tell the teachers what we're doing; I can imagine they will wonder what happened when he goes 3 weeks without doing a stitch of homework (which I fully anticipate).
