We discussed the "plan" for 30 minutes when I got home from work. He will log into the website after he finishes his homework and give me a status report, everyday, on both the delta of each grade, and a brief status of what he did for homework, as well as what is due the following day. After two weeks, if his grades stay up, he can give status once a week.
Any F's in ANY assignment that is 0 (meaning he didn't turn it in) results in bedroom isolation for 24 hours (with exception of bathroom and dinner time) No Xbox, electronic devices, just his homework folder and books are allowed while in room isolation.
We'll see how this goes...
I like the plan. I do much the same with my son. He was diagnosed "ADHD"

in the 1st grade. A load of Bravo Sierra. A year and a half of drugs later, he had more problems not less. Everyone's expectations were low, and he lived up to that.
Now we struggle with cleaning up the mess. We have the help of his coaches (track, cross country, and especially archery), missed assignments and poor grades due to lack of effort are not acceptable. I'm not going to brow beat him until he either despises me or gets straight A's. I'm just going to make him learn honest effort is required, and will be required all through life. And soon enough, no one will be there to force him, if he doesn't do for himself, the real world doesn't give a damn, and he'll be trampled under foot.
