[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much do you really think he is getting out of the tutoring if he hated it this much?  Poor kid has been in school all day long.  He just wants some down time.  I would drop the tutoring.  See if you can find someone to tutor on Sunday afternoons.

[b]Also, there is no excuse for his behavior towards your parents.  You need stronger consequences.[/b] [/quote]

I don't buy the whole "poor kid has been in school all day long." I have a daughter who is a very lovely kid, but Jesus she is iron-willed and can be a freaking nightmare. She griped and griped about math tutoring until we just wore her down that she was going and that was that.

She is a good kid in so many respects but when I do have to discipline it has to be immediate and pretty severe.

OP, your kid is being a pain about tutoring and thinks he might make headway not to go if grandparents won't drive him. Prepare a script: Larlo, you are going to your tutor. If you are rude to your grandparents about it then no phone the rest of the evening and the next day.

Just put the hammer down.[/quote]
