[Carl Carlson IV]

It could be because he doesn't know why or because he lacks motivation, etc. But it could be an actual condition. Does he have trouble concentrating? It is possible he could have ADD or ADHD whatever it is called these days? I have a case of that mixed with tourettes syndrome, and concentrating in school was very very tough. Especially with ignorant parents who just "want their kid to be normal," and can't understand why their kid "makes those weird noises all the time." Concentrating on anything, ESPECIALLY READING, was so tough, and I thought it was just because I was stupid. However, that certainly is not the case because I found ways to get good grades without reading. All through school before I started getting everything under control I really never ever read aaaaaaanything. I just couldn't do it. Sure I didn't want to and I have a bad procrastination problem, but that wasn't the main problem.

Just throwing it out there.
