When our son started high school I told him all the fooling around stopped now. I told him to buckle down and do the best that he could and it would pay off in the end. I also told him he did not have to let on to his friends how hard he was trying as it really wouldn't matter to them.
According to my wife (I admittedly wasn't very involved with his school work) he didn't do the homework very often for some of his classes nor did he turn it in as there wasn't any to turn in. This always seemed to lead to drama at the end of the semester when grades were given out. We let him deal with the out come of that on his own.
He must have listened to me early on. He graduated in the top 10 of his class and ended up with an academic scholarship to our alma mater that really helped us out.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
