My question is: My eldest son is in grade 5 and has never had a problem with his school work until this year. We unfortunately had to move to my mothers house because of financial dificulty. In the begining of this year we had to put him in another school closeby sothat my mother can look after him and help him with his schoolwork. But he failed his first trimester. Me and my husband thought we will then put him in a bording school because my son and my mother does not get along very well. We talked to him and explained that it will be better for him and more peacefull. We got his report back today and he failed even worse. What do you sujest we do? How can we help him if we work from 06:00 to 19:30 every day exept saturdays and sundays. (link)

You say you put him in a new school. Did he have a lot of close friends that he hasnt seen?Has he made any new friends.Is he bullied or teased? Have you talked to his teachers? Does he not know the information, not pay attention? Or just not care? Maybe, if he is missing his old friends, try to set up a play day with them. Or get him involed in school activies, interact with the other kids. If he is really against going to boarding school, i wouldnt send him. You dont want to make him more upset, because then it will get worse.(not to scare you)Maybe you could get one of the teachers, or other students to tutor him after school or even during lunch or play time. You could hire a professional tutor, but those companies cost lots of money and he may not get the help he needs. You also said your short on money so that may not be an option.
Maybe he is developing a learn disablity. Like Dyslexia. So i think you should also get that checked out, even more so if family members have history of learning disablities.
I hope i helped and things get better. Please rate me if i did anything for you.
The best of luck, im sure everything will be fine in time.
