Reply #7: Push her. [View All]

That's your job as a parent. You don't have a be a Nazi about it. However, it is your duty as a parent to do what is right for your children. Allowing them to coast through without any attempt to better themselves, simply because their less motivated friends do not think it's "cool", is not a good enough reason.

When she's finished with high school (and has already been privy to the knowledge you "pushed" upon her) you can allow her to make her own choices. At least by that time, she might be better prepared to MAKE those decisions inteligently.
