Failure Is Not An Option....

Mid Term grades came this weekend and the boy is in deep shit. WE are not too sure what the hell to do with him. When he actually does his work he gets A+ but more often than not he turns it in late and gets an F. His English grade is a C+ and every grade in that class is either an A+ of an F. What the #$%@!!!!!! We are not sure where this came from as he has been an A student since kindergarten and now at 6th Grade he falls apart!! We rode him last grading term for the same thing but it did not sink in apparently. We are totally at a loss and cannot think of what to do. I have anger everywhere, starting with the boy, us and the teachers. When a student has 7 F's in a row because of missing homework do you not think to contact the parents??? I am not deflecting blame, it starts and ends with the boy but we the parents and teachers need to step up and help. Just pissed and angry and sad and frustrated, didn't eat and woke up at 3:30 am and never went back to bed.
