[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am looking for ideas of appropriate discipline for bad grades.  I have a 8th grade boy who currently has 2 Cs and 1 D.  When looking at his grades, they suffer mostly because of incomplete homework and not doing well on quizzes.  I feel that he is capable of better grades.  But he just is not interested or lazy.  In the past, we have punished him by taking away video games and his phone.  But I'm not sure if that is effective anymore.  He is trying out for his school basketball team and I am thinking about telling him he can't play until his grades come up.  I'm concerned his grades will suffer even more with practices everyday after school.  What have other parents done in this situation?  Thanks.[/quote]
Are you in MCPS? My son has ADHD and had similar problems (he does have an IEP). He most defiantly can not participate in Crew if he carries a D in a class. He currently has As because he is in Resource class. The Teachers, and I, and my son, developed a system of checks and double checks that helped him succeed and that class if the key to his success.[/quote]
