Re: Motivating Students
Very interesting article! Now that I think about it, this is so true. Kids in general are beginning to realize that school will last much longer than they think it will. Many of the Kids I have grown up with all of my life are beginning on this long downhill slog, as this author describes it.
Some of these kids, coincidently, are the ones I begged on hand and knee to join our robotics team. I feel that if I had not joined our team I would have fallen down the same, unfortunate path.
But when you think about it, FIRST is the 4 R's this article talks about. It actually embodies each and every one of these R's. This is what the article is talking about. Students are seeing real results and are finally realizing what they can do, and possibly, what their future holds.
Great article by the way!
