So, is this youngster a slacker in other regards, or just in regard to the oboe?
Speaking as a mother who has a slacker son, I suggest that the best thing in the world for this boy would be for him to experience the consequences of his behavior. If your stated policy is that your students must come prepared for their lessons in certain ways, you must enforce that standard. If he comes unprepared, you send him home.
If he is just "gaming" you, he'll shape up. If the problem is more extensive than that (affecting his life in general), there is nothing you are going to be able to do to correct it. The very best thing you can do for him is to help him learn this lesson about life: "you don't work, you don't eat."
