My son is 13 years old and unless I am sitting right there watching him do the homework and going to school with him to turn it in, he will not do any work and will not turn in what I made him do the night before. He is like this in every aspect of his life. Now the school system is just as bad. I stated that I want my child tested for EBD and that something needs to get done about these issues before it is too late. They put it off for a month or two before they started the process. After that, I had to continuously call out there to get any kind of results. They kept saying,"Yes we tested him and we have the results, but someone else will give you a call." I would never hear back. And when I finally discussed holding him back in the 7th grade since he didn't do any work and failed almost everything they told me no. They said there was no option for summer school either, but when I spoke with the principle again he mentioned summer school even though he was the one that had originally told me no. I emailed every day to get the process going on signing him up for summer school or having a meeting on retaining him in 7th grade. They ignored me the last 2 weeks of school and wouldn't respond until it was too late to do something. I am so ready to get the state involved since I know we aren't the first parents to go through this at this school. My child thinks it is the greatest thing because he gets to move on and knows that he doesn't have to do anything but show up to school.
