[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That you chose to pose this question in the private school thread rather than in the general parenting thread says a lot about you.

There are plenty of public school kids who are plenty motivated and plenty of private school kids who are not.

But one thing is definitely true when it comes to kids:  motivation can’t be bought. [/quote]

That’s a weird and overly sensitive take. I would think OP posted in the private school thread because their kids attend private school… Everybody knows that there are driven and high achieving kids in all kinds of schools. [/quote]

Right. And by posting here OP is basically suggesting that somehow private school kids are unique and different when it comes to how to motivate them when in fact they’re not.  It’s the parents who are different.  That’s part of my point.  Perhaps OP’s kid is less motivated — at least on the surface — because they’re rebelling against or passive aggressively resisting pressure, which almost by definition is generally more intense among private school parents than public school ones.
