Hi Ania,
My heart goes out to you.
here's a question - What, exactly does your son do on the computer? Is it meeting social needs, such as Runescape or World of Warcraft - or intellectual needs? Computer life is as varied as IRL, but much faster and easier - so I'm wondering what he's getting "out there."
I also think it's weird that he has to take science tests when he already placed out of science. Can he take a CC science class in the evening to entirely replace science - easing up the "chicken dance" a bit?
My DS10 also rushes through homework, particularly if the challenge level is too easy. I call it the "close your eyes and think of England" approach.(Not within his hearing - LOL!) Last week when he finally got math at an appropriate challenge level, I happend to be around, and it was a completely different experience - a steady pace, huffing and puffing, and satisfaction on arrival.
What does he say about the "whole thing?"
Just so you know - DS10 looses computer privaleges from time to time, 3 days or a full week, if he acts too demanding, or doesn't do his responsibilities. good details in Ending The Homework Hassle Paperback by John Rosemond.
Also - if you are part of the YSP, try the parents of teen email list or the Parent's Forum.
Best Wishes,
Trinty
