So... I've got a girl in high school. She's smart. She's cute. She's fun. But she's just not motivated. When I think back on my years, I was fascinated by math beginning in 8th grade. Is it too early for me to expect my daughter to grab on to something? She's 14. She's a bigtime dancer, 10 to 15 hours per week. The other dance students are all able to manage their dancing and their school work. And, they all have interests in school-related stuff. But it ain't working for us. Do I just sit back and wait? I'm worried that bad habits are developing.
