I would try quilting my day away but he does take first priority. Help! All suggestions welcomed.

Sharon, Has your son had any previous school issues with homework or is this a new development and are there any other upset to his life. Some passive resistant behavior is fed by punishments and withdrawal of privaliages. Some boys seem to thrive on feeling punsihed or deprived of interests. Without knowing more I'm at a loss to suggest anything specific. I think along with the displine it's important for your son to know you love him and are trying to help not hurt him otherwise he may feel allienated from both your and your husband.
Dry your eyes, you're not alone. You're just frustrated to the point of tears for lack of the answer that will turn the situation around. Please feel free to PM me I know how helpless you are feeling.
You're not alone...

Teacherbailey, I remember that beloved planner book. My son was so clever, for a while, he would write the assignment with erasable ink so he could ammend the assignments when we signed the book. When that system failed he just wouldn't pass the work in and he had a locker full of completed assignments. The hormonal changes of 13 yr. old boys is far worse than with 13 yr. old girls!!! Weeping, yelling and confused girls are not being passive aggressive.
