my oldest daughter is 8 years old and she is in 3rd grade. in first grade she did everything she could to get into trouble at school. ignoring the teacher, throwing away her homework instead of turning it in, taking 3 hours to do her homework and i know she doesn't have that much, deliberately acting as though she doesn't learn anything at school yet she has shown us she can do her homework but she liked to play around and do it wrong. she even got suspended.
well in second grade she did good. good grades, no detention.
it's 4 weeks into the 3rd grade and she's already starting down the same path she took in 1st grade except she's not detting detention (yet) she's a very smart girl. we've seen what she can do. but for some reason absolutly does not want to do her home right and she has shown us that she can. what can we do? we've punished, we've offered rewards. we told her we'd give her money if she can bring home all A's (we know she can....she did it before)
