[QUOTE="Malika, post: 421949, member: 11227"] I agree. As a former teacher (and also a student who was very interested in learning but very uninterested in school), I would say that a punitive approach is not a good method of inciting a child's motivation. You can lead the horse to water but you really cannot MAKE it drink. Effective learning is linked to confidence; students that are demoralised and lacking in confidence will not learn. Inspiration and relaxation also play an important part. So far so good. How you actually inspire and motivate your daughter I'm not in a position to say... Where is her life going, what is her future, what does she need to do in terms of studies? Where do her interests lie, beyond the leisure activities? Is home schooling an option? [/QUOTE]
