Chapter 6: Motivation and Boredom

The suggestion was that teacher help students stay on top of their home work load. One student talked about how teachers just passed him along from grade to grade even though he did not do the work. The other student talked about how things at home are distracting and it is hard to do work. I always thought that since I was at school for most of the day there was no reason why the work could not be done there. I can see doing a little bit for practice or to rethink a complex idea. But if the work load was heavy it was because we had to finish learning the lesson that the teacher ran out of time trying to teach us.That always made the work overwhelming and very difficult to complete.
