Bernice, I don't know what it is but there is something about between 5th grade through 7th grade that dks seem to fall apart in school. It happened to my dd and to my ds2. Both did really well in classes they liked and terrible in classes they didn't. Homework might or might not get done and even if it was done somehow it sometimes didn't get handed in. I think it may just be a developmental issue at the start of adolescence. My ds2 is now in 8th grade and i still sometimes have to nail his pants to a chair to get him to complete his homework. I do hope your talk with your ds about "repeating 6th grade with the same teachers" is effective and that things improve.
