Science Games High School Students

Try to avoid using external motivators, especially things like money, gifts or candy. If you have to go outside “learning for the sake of learning” try to emphasize the importance of education in terms of jobs, meeting adult friends (because his K-12 school friends WILL move away) and independence.

I experienced the same thing with my little brother. He’s been out of school for two years and won’t be getting into COMMUNITY COLLEGE until September 2008 (that’s how long the waitlist is). He wasn’t even going to go to community college, but I pestered him by sending him brochures and application information for all sorts of schools and programs until he found one that interested him.

If your brother is into gaming, has he considered a job in game design or programming? I know it sucks to do the work yourself, but you could always order up some brochures from schools that have those types of programs. You could also send him links to different employers websites, showing the kind of things they look for in applicants. The trick is just to give him lots and lots of options until he finds the one that clicks with him. When he can envision himself doing that job ten or twenty years down the road, he’ll be willing to meet a few challenges to get there.
