FITB Ch. 6

Probably the most important chapter in the book, we learn about motivation. While I thoroughly enjoyed this entire chapter it was hard to narrow down only one aspect that really hit me harder than the others. To me the most important part was what motivates kids.
In this little subsection of the chapter we learn what keeps kids motivated to stay in school and to do well in school. To me, this could be the most important aspect of teaching in high school. Keeping them motivated and making them actually want to be in school is the only way they are actually going to learn anything in your classroom. There is no doubt that I will use the lessons in this chapter in the real world.
