Show her that you respect learning and knowledge.\n\nRead to her.\n\nLearn how to spell (or type or whatever, jeez)

12th grade is not a good time to completely change education systems. It would also be a difficult time  for you to learn how to home-educate. I suggest that instead of homeschooling you either:\n\n - Enrol her in a distance education program. If her high school has one of these this would be ideal otherwise there are many online programs. This would enable her to study from home while having her learning supervised by the teachers that run the program.\n\n- Examine her reasons for wanting to homeschool and try to resolve as many as possible without her actually withdrawing from her current high school. After all it is only a few more months.

lay down the law with her. tell her that for not getting good grades or not doing it u can take away priviledges. that should persuade her. if not, tell how much it hurts u to see her get bad grades. tell her u want to see her succeed in life and that she cant do that without doing her homework.  also, dont just take away priveledges, set aside time to check up on her. if she is doing badly, lower her allowance or take away more valued priveledges, like friends or phone. then again u dont want her to hate u, so dont come down hard on her the 1st time. but if the bad behavior and grades continue, start getting stricter. she needs to know you mean when u say it. if u say 'the next time you get a C or lower, your grounded', when she gets a C, follow up on it. she'll probably remember those words and say to herself ' moms not serious about this grade thing'. ur words need to be powerful, but not overwhelming.

Any chores you can offer to do instead?  Or maybe strike a deal that you will make a certain grade in a class....by the time grades come in he will have forgotten...

I am not sure what age group you are dealing with. I guess it does not matter, the skill building does. However if your child is in an upper grade and you find skill building things that are a few grade behind, you will need to explain to her what you are trying to achieve, or get creative in hiding it. You may want to look at some of the sites, see what they are trying to accomplish and adjust the content and  the vocabulary. Remember writing is a process, you will need to get the child used to the idea the writing becomes good when you revise it for clarity and accuracy. One thing i did notice with my daughter was  the idea of getting it all together in one step was enough to freeze her in place. The idea, the spelling, the punctuation, grammar, and making it all flow and sound right can be a lot to think about. Do it in steps. Providing a list of correctly spelled  words to refer to can make this easier at first.\nAlso try reading a little and have her write a sentence or two to complete the story, change the ending, and so forth. \nBelow are some links that may help.

This will help.\n\nI would make flash cards.\nStart with 1x1 and go all the way to 25x25.\nWhen you get all the way to 12x12 - ask your mom to test you.\n\nHere's what you do.  Get some index cards [small ones], punch a hole in the upper right corner and put a large ring through it. Put a small X in that corner.  Then do division the next round. (2-25 out or 200-use green for them)\n\nGet a red, blue and black marker.  But the answer on the back in red (smaller sized).  On the front (fill the card- larger print)  put the top number in blue, the rest in black!\n\nThis will really teach you and help both of you out!\n\nNext-write out your spelling words, 3-5 x's on one line and practice. them!  \n\nYou maybe a  "visual" and/or a "tactical" learner- it means you must DO something to learn it.  I am.  So really practice!!!!!!\n\nPrint this out and take it to your math teacher and counselour, they can help you now. You want to get into college, MATH & ENGLISH need to be mastered at your age.

If you are in the United States, she should be tested for qualification in a gifted education program... extremely bright children benefit greatly from time with peers of similar ability involved in programming targeting their real skill levels.\n\nIf the teachers say that she is too smart for them to work with her, um, what are you paying them (your taxes, etc.) for? Have you spoken with your principal?\n\nI should clarify here that they may feel you are overestimating her abilities, or that you are pushing her too hard. She is a child, and should be allowed to have her childhood, no matter how smart she is. She has a lifetime to learn facts and new skills.\n\nThat being said, don't let them stick your kid in with even older students...she still is 4 years old, and needs to be allowed to be 4. If she's in with older students, her social and emotional development will suffer. She's started a year early already. Don't let the difference in age between her and her classmates increase to a point where she has no real friends.\n\nThe classroom teacher should have centers activities and individual instruction time geared to your child's ability levels. The teacher should be practiced in asking higher-order thinking skills questions for her to answer (Bloom's Taxonomy). When your child gets into higher grade levels, she should be given less skill drill, and more independent projects focusing on those higher thinking skills.\n\nIn any case, start her in music, or art, or dance, or some other lessons involving creativity.\n\nGive her a few regular household chores...many gifted kids spend so much time in lessons that they never learn how to take care of their home.\n\nGive her free time to play on her own.\n\nFill your house with a variety of books, both fiction and non-fiction, at all different reading levels. Give her a chance to do the math when you go to the store, balance your checkbook, or are cooking/building something.\n\nGood luck!

Schedule a parent/teacher meeting with her teacher. See if the teacher is willing to stay after school a couple of days a week and give her one on one tutoring.\n\nMy little brother went through the exact same thing with his math and english lessons and his teacher was more than happy to stay late with him since teachers are always at school after the kids to home.\n\nAlso, it may be a tough decision to make, but it is almost the end of the school year. If you daughter just quite doesn't grasp what she is trying to learn, maybe it is best if she is held back a year. If she is struggling so hard now, how in the world would she survive in a higher grade?\n\nGood luch!

Congratulations to you, and a hearty cheer for taking on such a challenging task.\n\nI arrived mid year once to teach 8th grade English and History.  The situation was not as...degenerated as you describe, but it was tough for both sides.\n\nI think others have given valuable advice.  These kids need structure and enforcement of rules, whether they know it or not.  Make your rules fair and apply them equitably and you should have some success.\n\nI do disagree with the idea of using a Homework pass as a reward.  Don't we assign homework because of it's value to learning?  Letting a student earn the privilege not to do an assignment completely dilutes its educational value to the students left doing it.  Other rewards are certainly useful, though.  Stickers actually work to motivate a lot of kids.  Even though they're in 10th grade, they'd still like to bring home a "refrigerator paper" to show mom and dad (or whoever's at home).\n\nI think you also need to acknowledge out loud the things many of these kids have gone through outside of school, as well as the turmoil they have faced in school with this course.  Lay out your rules early and often.  Follow through with disciplinary action, but be a nice, reasonable person.  Find out what the school administration would consider success for this course this year, tell the kids, then go for it.\n\nBest wishes.

Maybe demonstration would be the best choice of action.\nGo over the top. Be the best teacher's pet you can be. Go out of your way to beat your friend to being 'the best'.\nWon't it make her jealous when you're the teacher's pet instead of her. That'll show her.!

Bless you in your endeavor! Just to start out, you could surround him with books...give him time outside...not too much of the TV or video games or ipod...don't completely take it away...or he'll hate homeschool, just don't let him use that stuff during "school hours"...so he'll find something productive to do. Ask him what he wants to learn about and do a Unit Study...but don't overdo it, let him take the lead...but he may need you at his side for a while until he realizes he doesn't need a teacher to learn, just the desire to learn. The library is a great place to get all of the "curriculum" you could ever need. You could get him some science kits, or let him start a rock collection, or buy him a telescope so he could begin studying the stars, the possibilities are endless. I don't know why we call it homeschooling, it's really universeschooling...but I won't get into all of that...I'm homeschooling my 4 children and I wouldn't trade it for the world. They LOVE it and would not like to go back to school. \n\nI don't know where you live, but I'm sure you could find a homeschool support group near you. I'm in the Los Angeles area...many, many groups to choose from.\n\nThe best to you and your son!

If this is a fairly recent occurence, it seems as if she's lost interest in school.  I'd say she needs something (or someone) to relight the spark of interest in learning.\n\nIf a kid is not interested in learning, often no negative reinforcement (punishments, restrictions, etc.) will work.  I think the first step is to get involved with what it is she's studying.  Do you and/or her parents know what her homework assignments are?  Our teenager has a planner where he's supposed to put all his assignments for every class every day.  What's the relationship between her parents and teachers?  Have they been communicating about her difficulties?  Teachers have a daunting workload, but are likely to be helpful in the case of a bright but failing student.  You may be able to establish email communication to get some or all of the assignments.\n\nCan you get a second copy of her textbooks that can be kept at home?  This way, leaving books at school is never an excuse to not do homework.  Again, her teachers are likely to be cooperative if they can.\n\nGo over her assignments every evening with her.  Help if necessary, but get her to do the work before she can do anything else.  Use homework as a condition to do the things she wants or likes to do. That way it's not a punishment, it's an incentive.\n\nThis takes a tremendous amount of energy and committment to do, but if you are consistent I believe it will pay off.  This could easily be a "phase" or some peer influence that you can work through.  You and her parents' increased involvement lets her know you're serious about this and love her enough not to just let her give up.  The "love" part she won't get at first, but in time I think she will.

Give them less homework and try to make it more fun. Give less paperwork and more interesting projects. Try to be more creative with it. I know kids can be very difficult to teach these days. Good luck!

If your daughter is good in math, she should stay in Kumon. Although kumon charged at $110/month. It is highly effective. I have seen alot of children benefitting from kumon especially maths. \n\nKumon is a self pace learning centre, which is different from school where everyone learns the same thing. For each topic there are about 10 to 20 sets of worksheet. Each sets containing 10 pages. There is also expected time and the maximum number amount of mistakes they can make in one set of worksheets. This is to train their speed and accuracy. \n\nOnly by finishing the worksheet in the given amount of time and not exceeding the maximum mistakes they are able to train their speed and accuracy skills and if they fail to meet the requirements, they are supposed to repeat the worksheets again. \n\nThis is to make sure that they are able to grasp the subject well. After each level, they are expected to do a achievement test to see if they can really proceed to the next level. If they fared well in the achievement test they are allowed to proceed to more challenging question and harder work.\n\nIf your daughter is good in math, she should continue in kumon because it allows her to work and advance at her own pace. As a results, she might be learning equations that is far more difficult then what she is doing in school. In this way, she will be allow to strive for more rather than doing the same old things that she already knew in her school.\n\nKumon is not only about going to the centre and doing the CW=classwork. Other then CW, she should consistantly do her HW=homework as allocated to her. She should have the habit of doing one homework per day. This will let her have the habit of doing at least one homework per day. In this way she will be independent and she will be responsible of what is expected of her.\n\nShe will also be asked to think about how long she need to complete one level, this is to teach her how to set realistic goal and she will be able to learn how to achieve and work towards her targetted goal.\n\nI hope the infomation provided is useful to you. =)

Show her some of your "A" tests and remind her that you are a much better student than many parents can bribe their kids into being, with the suggestion that this is a sort of reward- you are a good student and can stand to miss a half-day of school. Explain calmly and clearly your points about the teachers expecting students to not show up. You can also mention how even the school administration didn't feel it was necessary to have a whole day of school- aren't the last three hours of school just as important as the first five? Make sure to present your points maturely and rationally, without any whining, and your mom is sure to be impressed and agree to let you stay home.\n\nIf she makes you go anyway, you can skip homeroom and your classes and just hide in the library and read. Make it a 5-hour discover-interesting-books day, it'll be awesome. I wish I had a 5-hour block of time I could devote to just browsing a library, I need to expand the types of books I read and I've glanced at really interesting titles that I never had time to check out. Like ventriloquism, learn ventriloquism! You'll be able to screw with people for the rest of your life.
