  • tell him how important it is
  • pay him...sounds like an emergency no time to try to convince him!!!!!!!! good luck
  • Tell him he will have to pay for his schooling. There is no way out. Life is tough.
  • slap him across the head and say "what's a matter with you boy"
  • Ask him to tell you his reasons - all of them, rational and emotional. Really LISTEN. Maybe there's something he's not seeing straight on. OR maybe he's flunking too many things and really might as well drop them if he's getting Fs anyway. What is he saying about WHY he wants to drop them all? If he's having emotional problems, see if he'll consider counseling. Do you live close by? It's not really possible to comment here without a lot more information. Mostly, though, LISTEN, and don't make immediate recommendations or say "the solution is simple." It probably isn't simple. Help him talk through and think through all his reasons. Maybe he will change his mind - maybe he won't. But at least you'll understand.
  • Tell him to keep trying and to study harder. And get a tutor.
