...but I am so tired of dealing with my 14-year old son. He's a good kid overall and very capable of doing well in school.

But this year (he's a freshman) he's decided that homework doesn't matter so long as he scores well on quizzes and tests. Now he is failing Honors English, Honors Geography, and has low C's in his Algebra and Science class. He does well in band and stagecraft - two classes without homework.

I would love suggestions from you ladies! We've tried motivating to no avail, and if we take things away (computer, activities, etc) he says he doesn't care and just goes and reads his books.

Went through this with his older brother at the same age, and we ended up pulling him out and homeschooling him; he graduated a year early. But I don't want to do that with Ryan, because he's much more social and I think he'd get bored at home very easily.

Help? Thanks in advance!!
