I was just having this very conversation with my teenage son. He's going to school now, mainly as a way to meet friends his age, but he's reluctant to go, being something of a slacker who doesn't like being told what to do (I can't imagine where he gets that from...)
He says he probably won't go tomorrow and I'm trying to explain why he should. Ultimately, the most convincing reason I can think of is that he should respect his teachers. They are very dedicated and he should show them respect, at least by showing up. By honouring his teachers he is also honouring himself.

very good .. yes what you say is right..
sometimes a kid needs to learn to be humble and understand they do not know it all.. or even why they are asked to do things.. but do them because Dad knows best.. which you do..
its ONLY after maybe a month or three that they maybe GET into school.. and they do need a push to get them there.. but IF they dont respect you and listen then they can Never really learn..
tell him Alex agrees and he's also really wise ;-). .
