<p>The adviser that was assigned to him is clearly not doing his job, or else doing it according to the culture of the school. At most boarding schools I know the adviser would have been all over the situation, especially since its not a matter of comprehension, but lack of motivation. On your part, you should have email contact with the school weekly. What to do now? If this was my son, I would bring him back home and sit on him. If you want to keep him in that school, and feel that they will want to cooperate by assigning a “warden” – look into summer programs that ween teens of addicting games. If you feel that the school will not cooperate with you, get him off games and have him repeat 11th grade at another school. If the school prides itself on being prestigious, etc, they will have to work hard to get him into a decent college. If he pulls his grades up in the first semester of senior year, has good scores and you’re a full pay that “plays well” with the guidance counsillor you shouldnt have too much problems with that next year.</p>
