Your Two Cents Worth Here
well..i wonder who says taksin's method handling the south is not appropriate? assholes killing civilians and monks. do u know how long has this been dragging...ages.
so..perhaps u wanan mobilize yr troops? but maybe u can start off strategically, that u hv to think..yourself.
Takeshi: Please keep your Sun Tzu to yourself. Hhmpphh... also can apply in parenting? I am surprised.
I found that, the best way with my kid is to pile compliments on him to encourage him - he loves flattery (at such young age too).
Sigh... kids todays are so different from how we all used to be. In our time, the solution is always connected to a rod (rotan). I had to suffer my mom's famous "laser-eye" stare too 
- next, to her "machine-gun" round of firings. LOL. My eardrums "berkecai alreadi by the time she finishes". Sigh..
Sometimes, I even find 'em (kids) to be somewhat cunning in a way - I am amazed by their ability or skill to coax i.e. manipulate an adult to do things for them easily.
My piece of advise to you is to brain-wash Sasha on all good things about school and don't forget to mention all the fun things she gets to do there and all.
Sometimes, encouragements is all that a child need to excel and learn.
But, bear in mind that this method needs a hell lot of patience - and i know this is not one of your strong point :D Good luck!
cleey: I usually use the mafia way in handling children - bribe, if it doesn't work, threathen. Haha!
maybe she is having a bad experience at school? try asking her what is wrong
Ryuu: She is plain lazy lah. Haha!
You sure she is just lazy? Sometimes kids have reasons for thier behavior, but just don't know how to express it.
I agree with nicktay's idea - it only normal for kids to struggle to express themself as they haven't mature enough to have that type of social skill like us grownups do.
