Demeter, she may surprise you. My dad, myself, my brother, my daughter – all of us were late bloomers who didn’t take studying serious in our teens. I put myself through college when I was 32! My daughter, as I said before, is putting herself through nursing school and getting excellent grades. We had many a fight over her study habits/homework when she was in middle, junior and high school. Some kids just don’t appreciate an education until later in life, or when they are paying for it themselves. The important thing is – YOU care about her education, and that will stick with her. Eventually she will see the benefit for herself.
