Ahhh, if only my son were bribeable! My life would be so much easier. But, he doesn't really react to much of anything. We've tried EVERYTHING, and he just doesn't care about his grades or school career. He does like GT, and I told him that he may have to be moved back to regular ed. He reacted strongly to that, but I'm not sure how much of this is within his control.

Some kids aren't bribeable, but for starter you have to know your kid inside out and know what is a reinforcer for him. Apparently GT classes are a reinforcer. For now they are giving you the option to keep him in GT and let him get poor grade. Fine - the grades don't count right now.

Keep your eyes open, typing lessons themselves may be a reinforcer.
