1. Ask your kids what interested them in their school day?
2. Encourage them to explore these interests beyond the scope of their assignments if they find it fun. Google the heck out of new ideas. Check Wikipedia for other points of view.
3. Use resources from the environment, the library, friends who enjoy the same topic.
4. Forget measuring how well you perform and concentrate on the joy of learning.
5. Make grades less important than the excitement of making a new discovery.
6. Draw pictures and write stories about interesting ideas and post them on facebook.
7. Measure your success by how many new ideas you come up with not by test scores.
8. Post YouTube videos of projects that you complete and get comments.
9. Inspire others to follow your ideas on social media and get an interaction going.
10. Learn for its own sake and grades improve naturally.
