Math homework

Does anyone have suggestions on what to do when you child just doesn't care whether or not his homework is completed correctly or if at all? He is basically failing right now in math but could care less. I'll check the worksheet and offer to help him make corrections but it's a battle to get him to do it over. He thinks as long as all the blanks are filled in it is fine to turn it in like that.

Math Homework

My son is also failing Math and acts as if it is no big deal. He used to be so good at math. How do I get him to understand that his marks are important. Elizabeth

Try making it affect everything he does care about, a new video game, friends coming over, going to the movies, new shoes. Tell him you would consider it but since he does not care about math.
