He was frustrated that his juniors and seniors in high school struggled with owning their own learning, with pursuing learning purely because they wanted to. They kept asking him, “what do you want me to do?” These are bright motivated kids, but, I told him, since the age of five or six, they have been rewarded for doing what the teacher or parent asked, and then moving on to the next unit, paper, playdate, after school activity, or grade level. Can we blame them, should we be surprised or disappointed when, at age seventeen or eighteen, they are not suddenly ready, willing, eager, and prepared to grab the reigns of learning on their own?#EdJourney
