When we are interested in what we are learning, no one has to force us to keep learning: we just do. If you’ve ever watched kids when they are playing sports, planning a field trip, or discussing their favorite celebrity, you know how different they are when they care about what they’re doing.
I saw a group of students plan for a trip they want to do after high school. One of the biggest voices was a girl would sit in class and plan on her phone the whole time instead of doing any work. I didn’t think anything of her change of attitude until i read this quote by Littky. I even talked to one of the other girls in the group after a test the first girl slept through that we have to some how get the original girl to feel like she can do the math because the two of us knew that she could do it.
