    If you homeschool him, Say "Lets Finish this Page of Maths Sums" Then I will play Pokemon with you. Don't let him rule you

    Beanie, who is the parent here?

    If he is not doing his work why does he still HAVE the Pokemon cards?

    For people young and old alike who have a hard time with motivation virtual classes can be a disaster. If you cannot stay home and homeschool him, he needs to get back to regular brick and mortar classes.

    Don't give him the choice, he is not the parent, he does not make the rules. You do, and he follows them. Period.

    As said in your other post WHO is the parent?

    Take the god forsaken cards away from him and be the parent. If you have to work he has to go to school. No questions asked.
