the main problem is the kids have no support from their parents, they won't study and do homework if parents don't make them.

My cousin is a teacher and she says she can always tell when kids have no books at home or not. She gets parents coming in in tears because their kid doesn't want to read but she can't really say to them "if your kid never sees you enjoyed reading and only trying to force it on them of course they are going to fight it."

lol a parent in tears because their kid won't do what they say, the kid should be in tears from a spanking for not learning to read. And yeah though leading by example is best.

She should say it, then find honest work.
