I don't know if she does care about their grades, for any reason. Otherwise she wouldn't have kept Ella home for a year, and it's obvious she wasn't home schooling her. I used to work with a woman who infantilised her 8 year old son, had him sleep in bed with her every night, and who really slacked on his home schooling. She half joked once that any girlfriends he had in the future would have to fight her for him. I think she deliberately tried to undermine any chance he had of getting a decent education, getting a job in the future etc, so that he would never leave home and never leave her.
I think Alice does plan on grifting off the girls, but I think she is also deliberately trying to keep them as isolated and dumb as possible, so they don't waken up to her abuse, and so they will be too dependent on her to ever leave her.

Is that to keep the demons out or to invite them in??
