Time for some "Grunt Work" on the Weekend
In exchange for homework tutoring, she needs to clean house, wash dishes, help weed the flower beds, mow.
Then politely remind her then, that people who don't get advanced educations end up doing these "boring" jobs the rest of their lives.
My father started a 2 year landscaping project at age 13, and I mowed, weeded flower bed, painted houses, etc. as chores from about age 11. It was the best "real life" lesson I could have ever had. By the time I graduated from high school, I was ready for college.
I really didn't want to end up mowing the rest of my life, so it was worth it.

Oops
In playing with my son with the beanbag and slow response, I accidentally posted this about 6 times.
My son wants to play some more, so I'll get off now. (I'm working from home because he's sick, ear infection. )
