[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of free resources out there.  Parents just have to know where to find them, and both the parents and [b]kids have to be motivated[/b] to use them.

Khan Academy is free and covers a lot of subjects.  AoPS has many free resources as well as a message board where kids can ask for help if they didn't understand something.  [/quote]
We know these free resources exist and tries using them, but child is not motivated.  How to get them motivated and interested in studies?[/quote]
Welcome to the world of parenting.[/quote]
Understand it's parenting and we are doing everything as parents, but cant get child interested in studies. Child says no homework. How are they learning with no homework?  We get library books but child doesnt touch them.[b] Can we ask school for help to get child interested in studies[/b]?   [/quote]
No.  School can provide free books, give free tutoring, move your child to a lower grade, move your child to grade higher even if unqualified, give your child preferential treatment based on race or economic background, free transportation, free meals, etc... but the one thing the school cannot do is force your child to get interested in studies.  It's the child's will, no one but the child controls what they like and dont like.  With proper parenting, there is a good chance that the child's will can be influenced to an extent.  It's still a chance. [/quote]
