[quote=Anonymous]So it's not that there's too much work but that he's simply not doing it?

As I read it, it all starts with classwork. If there is no ADD (which often manifests just like you're saying -looking out of the window etc), then a 9 year old should be old enough to understand that if he doesn't do his class work in the class, there's he'll to pay later. I would brainstorm once more with the teacher the ways to teach him make better use of his time in class.

I completely get it that it's hard for him to focus in SACC when all his friends are running around playing. And at home, of course, it will be late and he'll be tired. How's his focus at home though? One thing to do would be to set aside a week or two, when you prioritize homework. Come home, get takeaways or your DH to make dinner, and just sit with him. Set a timer, take small breaks, do what it takes. See if that makes him realize that he needs to pull his weight in class. But still, look into this ADD thing more seriously. Get a screening list, see how many criteria he meets.
