How to deal with irresponsible younger brother?

Long story short, my mother cannot make my little brother do his homework or study and refuses to enroll him in any special programs at the school because she thinks it will "label" him.

He is not a "bad" kid, he doesn't do anything illegal or morally terrible, but he if refuses to work or talks on the phone, her yelling at him or threatening grounding etc doesn't do anything.

Is there anything I can do to help him and her? I'm 23 and he is 15... I don't live with them day to day, but I could temporarily if need be.
 
I'd beat him senseless. I'd probably make a terrible parent/brother though. But it's what I'd do.
 
You wont be able to do much of anything unless you and your mother are on the same page. She needs to decide what the consequences will be and then both of you need to back each other up on it and carry them out. If he is acting this way at 15, imagine how he will be acting at 16, 17, etc. Time for some tough love.

You'd be surprised at the results when the Military School brochures show up in the mail box. When my son was 15 he didn't believe me until he checked the mail a few days later. 😀
 
Let him drop out of highschool for a year, but also make him work 40hrs a week in a shithole job, and make him pay rent, im sure he'll agree doing homework is much more fun.
