It is certainly nice to be enticed to learn and to be entertained while learning but a person who expects to be enticed and entertained for any learning to take place will be limited in how far his education can progress. Passion is certainly part of learning, but at a certain point one has to roll up one's sleeves and put in the effort and work to learn without an expectation of being entertained.

A teacher can love and be passionate about his subject, but not every student will connect with every subject, no matter how enticing and entertaining a teacher tries to make each class. Some kids like math, some like history, some like physics. We are all individuals wth our own likes and dislikes, our own strengths and challenges. In college, students take classes they choose, while in high school, our society requires that kids take all the core subjects plus a language usually as a minimum for a college-bound student. There's nothing wrong with having favorite subjects and less favorite subjects; we just need to be careful not to blame the teachers for the fact that kids will naturally like and be better at some subjects over others. Just look forward to college when you can enjoy as much as you want of your favorite subjects!
