Here is the quick background. I'm a single mom with MH issues. I do therapy, take meds. My son is 15 ADHD takes meds, does therapy,etc.I'm trying my best, but my son refuses to go to school. Grades suck but his state testing is around 88%-95%. He started out at a private school and is now at a public HS. I can understand some of his frustration when he brought home a book that they're going over in class and this is the 3rd or 4th time he's been required to read it. He hates the school environment. Actually complains that it's not strict enough.He's not in sports. Doesn't belong in any clubs. He has a couple of trusted friends since childhood, and I truly support his relationships with them. His only responsibility is going to class and do his homework. I scaled back his privelages this summer to prepare him to go without for the school year. He only has his phone, which is a necessity for communication with his father.I've listened to him, talked about it. I've let him fail. (that was tough) He is aware of the consequences of his actions. He's an upstanding kid otherwise. He makes positive choices in his life in other regards. It's just school.Need some ideas here. I miss the days where I'd get him dressed while he was sleeping and toss him in the car... via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2xegXgx
