What does he want to do instead of going to class and doing his work? Is there a way you can make that better and available for him as a condition of/reward for going to class on time etc? Does he slope off to read? or mess with something? what makes him tick? ODD is not an unusual bed partner for ADD. We dealt with both as possibilities but in the end the way forward seems to be finding a way to harness his power for good rather than evil. And we very much restrict electronics time. we found the behaviors much worse after extended periods in front of the screen. Not sure that is any help, but it's the best I can do right now. We found rewards earned more effective than punishments
Is there any alternative to the school he's currently in?
