Okay....I hate to give this advice, but this what worked with us. I paid my kids to get good grades. My oldest who is 17 is very self motivated. Straight A's. Now my daughter is very smart but does not like school. She was seeing how her brother earned money for good grades and was buying all this neat stuff. It was like a lightbulb went on and she figured out good grades = money. Now we did not pay huge amounts I believe we started when the kids were in 2nd and 4th grade. I think we paid $2 for A's and $1 for B's . Now that the big kids are in high school I don't pay money for electives or PE. My oldest likes to have a running tab and gets the money at the end of the school year.
