[quote=Anonymous]Focus on the character issues - the lying, the making excuses, the sneaking. Whether he will be academically successful or not is probably already set. Even if you sit down and work through homework with him every night, he is going to be who he is in his aptitude and skills. The character issues though - that's what makes someone a loser. You can be a highly successful plumber, truck driver, whatever -- with good character. But if you have poor character, you're not someone who will attract quality people and opportunities into your life. Especially if you're not the brightest. You probably aren't going to make him a better student. So you better make sure he's a good person. [/quote]
