[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fucking stand over him and put his nose to the grindstone.

NO other fun until his grades improve. No TV, no phone, no internet, no sports, no friends.[/quote]

We tried this approach and it did not change anything.  Just made him more irritable and angry, which lead to violent and destructive outbursts.
He has gotten to the point where he has gotten physical with both of us. He is large for his age.[/quote]

I thought poster #1 was kidding.  But OP was doing this.  Tells me that OP needs to look at parenting skills.  Try PEP.  You are killing your kid and it's YOUR FAULT.  [/quote]

Both of these posts are ridiculous.  The person who suggested PEP obviously has never even taken a PEP class because the first thing they tell you is that you should not blame yourself.  OP-- it is not your fault.  Of course you tried what the first poster suggested... We all did with our children who hate school and found that strategy to be useless.  You don't want to be battling your son on a daily basis.  Have you tried a reward system?  Is there any one thing that might motivate your son even the tiniest bit?  We don't allow computers during the school week.  A motivator doe our difficult kid was to allow an hour of computer time after he went to school and did his homework.  If there is any time to fail, it is 7th grade when grades don't matter.  [/quote]
