My son gives me such a hard time..
Often calls in 10-15 minutes late, then does everything but pay attention. Then doesn't do the work he's supposed to. Then obviously doesn't know the material. I had enough of this policing him (he's 11).

DOnt police. I have a few kids ages 8-14 on phone conferences. It is their responsibility and if they miss they can suffer the consequences.
At a minimum only make him sit when learning inside for stories or shmuzen let him do his thing.
But teachers know kids aren’t sitting the entire. Time. They see their own kids.
Just make sure he has a decent setup to go to when it is time to learn.

Nothing says quality journalism quite like an advertorial.

Very Happy yes, it is an advertisement, but I can imagine it is really true. Touches a raw nerve, as dh got into po*n as a young teen when his parents were too trusting and no proper filter. still has ramifications years later... so I hope parents take it seriously
