This is strong evidence of why I think that this is the wrong approach…
You are looking for a short cut that achieves two objectives:
1) You son has good grades
2) You don’t have to bothered with how that happensIt’s number two that is THE PROBLEM with most parents these days. They just don’t want to be bothered with their children…

Meandale – I thought the same thing for a moment, but I don’t think she was saying she didn’t want the hassle of her son, but she didn’t want to hassle him. Big difference.

June 12, 2009 at 10:52 AM #414492Participant[quote=meadandale]Love of learning and curiosity should be their own reward. THAT’s what you should be spending your energy on and you don’t even have to open your wallet. Take your kids to the library. Take your kids to a museum. Get involved in their school work with them.[/quote]
As I went to lunch, I wondered if maybe this kid had not been exposed to museums, libraries, even toy stores or if he just didn’t react to them. If I were this parent, I would set out this Summer on a vicious quest to show the young lad all kinds of new things – movies, sports, Disneyland, toys, games, museums, libraries, hiking, science experiments, math games, chess … anything and everything … just to see what captivates him. Something out there is interesting
