[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent and guidance counselor I can tell you that switching schools does nothing anymore. These kids have so many ways to keep in touchy hourly/minute by minute that switching schools is a huge hassle that yields nothing. It was the answer 10 years ago but no longer. I would highly incentivize working. Ive had parents who even match the hourly wage to get them working towards a car or a trip etc. You have to figure out what the carrot is and dangle it constantly. Also another avenue is offering something that seems fun and alternative. Ive had parents have luck with getting an electric guitar and lessons and starting to get into a new scene that way. Also offering an exchange program is a good way to divert. [/quote] Send him to military school or boarding school. He needs a wake-up call for more restricted and aggressive monitoring. Nip it in the bud now before it's too late.[/quote]
