What is up with the laziness?

[Guest guest]

Our 9th grader AS, who is very bright just started high school (small, private)

and I'm already exhausted from nagging him and basically bribing him to do his

homework carefully and thoroughly. He pretty much rushes through it so that he

can get on Facebook with friends! When I sit him down (after a lots of yelling

on his part) he was very thoughtful in his work and felt good about the product.

His excusefor not doing it the first time was, " Mom, I'm just really lazy " !

I'm not going to make it through this school year with my sanity intact if this

keeps

up. ARGH!!

How can I get our son to be less " lazy " ?

Thanks
