Bernice, I started going through the same thing with my ds2 when he was in 6th grade and now he is in 8th grade and it continues. I have tried taking away privledges or fun things like video games etc. until he gets his homework done but it doesn't always work. I help him when he needs me to but often he either says he has no homework or he did it in school. I never know if he is telling me the truth or not until mid-terms or report cards come out. I wonder if it is just an age thing (as someone else mentioned hormones and peers). I wish I had some better advice for you but I may try the same thing you are considering and just let him fail. Just know you are not alone in this.
