A lot of smart, but apathetic kids with some sort of self-pity end up working for the carnival. I know, because I employ them for 3 months of the year. I deal a lot with them in fact, almost every day. They end up living on the road in a bunkhouse or trailer. They get all the freedom they want, and live off of unemployment from November through March.
I'm NOT SAYin that all kids who don't like school will end up that way. So it's not "strong-arm" tactics. It's compassionate to let her know what she's going to have to get used to. It's just letting her get prepared to live without real running water a lot of the time. And it's OK. Everyone chooses their own path. Your grandkids will probably be conceived under a Gravitron or in a van.
