[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach in Fairfax County, and it's the same deal here. I don't think they're stupid, I think there is a lack of motivation/effort/experience that contributes to no background knowledge. My students thought Mount Vernon was a mountain, and Chile was in Europe. They are 8th graders.[/quote] This. Same in MCPS. There are some motivated, hard-working students. But I would agree that about 75% of students are just completely not motivated. Yes, teachers can improve motivation, but it also rests on the students' shoulders.[/quote]
