Where's the Motivation?


Motivation is lost

Carelessness is found

Education isn't seen as a merry-go-round

to my students and my teachers.

What is fun in a classroom?

What is capivating in a classroom?

When the work doesn't match up with the Curriculum...

When the work is meant to keep us silent...

the Work fails to educate

Drop-out rates increase

People settle for a job at a burger joint

for the rest of their lives.

They're

Trapped.

Depressed.

Handicapped

because of their provincial

education

Where's the motivation?
