Getting up in the morning...

Does your tween get up on his/her own or do you wake him/her up? My DS, Spencer is 12 and in 7th grade. I wake him up every morning. In the past he has set an alarm, but tends to just turn it off and go back to sleep. He can snooze that thing 100 times and still not get out of bed. I think he gets plenty of sleep. He's in bed by 9-9:30 and I wake him up about 6:40. It totally wrecks my morning if he misses the bus, which he's only done twice in 2 years. His school is 7 miles in the opposite direction of our house and my job. I just don't know how to make him more reponsible for getting himself up and out of bed each morning. If I don't prod him along, he'll dawdle along and miss the bus. I've been taking him to the bus stop because it's been so cold in the mornings. He has to be at the bus stop at 7:20 in order to catch the bus. Last Friday we rounded the corner just as the bus was pulling away from the curb. Fortunately the driver saw us and waited for him. I always thought that if I woke him up earlier he'd get around better, but it seems the MORE time he has, the MORE time he goofs off.
Any insight? Thanks!

We had a discussion about this recently.

Yep, sounds like my 14 yr/8th grade DD.
