I have a 10th grade son that is on my last nerve. He gets good grades, but has the potential to get great grades. He is extremely smart, but doesn't apply himself. He does just enough to get by. Weekly we have arguments about how important it is to keep his grades as high as possible, participate in school events, volunteer, etc. For the last couple of months he has decided that he doesn't really have to go to college, and probably doesn't want to go to college.
AHHHHHH! He drives me crazy. Anyone else go through this? How can I make him understand how important this is?
