You know, sometimes kids are just not motivated at all even if they aren't surrounded by poverty and have involved parents.
My step-daughter is horrendous in school. And it's not because she's not smart. She is smart. We just can't get her to take school seriously. We'll get her report card and her grades will be 90, 100, 100, 95, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 90, 0, 0, 0, 88, 0.
It drives us nuts. We've even dug fully completed homework out of her backpack that she just never turned it in. I've talked to her over and over about how important education is and sometimes she gets all motivated and determined to do well in school.
That lasts about a day. Then she goes back into her malaise and just says fuck it.
And you can't tell her anything because she's 17 so she thinks she already knows everything. Typical dumb teenager mindset. I've about given up on her. Hopefully she can find some half-way successful husband to carry her ass through life.
I didn't take high school all that seriously but I was still on the honor roll every time. A's and B's all the way through. But she just doesn't give a fuck.

Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
