S. and Marge Eberts, Ed. I have a fourth grade son who has completely given up on school. The first nine-week's grades have come home, and he has all F s. He won t do his classwork or his tests. On his tests, he might write an answer or two, but he is just not doing anything.
Homework is a struggle, also.
He does not want to do it and is up late most nights until it s done. Then he might or might not turn it in. I am just about ready to give up on him, which I really don t want to. Your son is only in fourth grade - you can t give up on him. He needs someone to help him turn things around.
