<p>SteveMA, I am glad things turned out well for your son! There are plenty of days I wish I had a crystal ball! We have gone back and forth for years now on the laziness call. DS definitely thinks of himself as lazy, but I’ve come to the conclusion that his behavior takes a lot more energy than just doing the work in the first place. There are also plenty of places in his life where he isn’t lazy. He must find something that is too difficult or too de-motivating that prevents him from completing his assignments. I am not saying he doesn’t have lazy moments; don’t we all? Combine his attitude, lack of will, undefined academic obstacles and a little stubbornness, and I’ll show you grades that reflect utter helplessness and apathy.</p>
