I’d suggest that it is your students who are in the rut. Furthermore, I believe that the type of rut (general apathy and indifference) you are describing is endemic to the majority of high school students. They live in a cyber-world where nano-seconds are the “reward currency” and schools continue to offer them, at best, geologic time-scale rewards (credits). We continue to leave in place a reward (credits) system that presents ZERO sense of urgency, creating a “manana” culture in our classrooms for all but the most self-motivated nerds. And we still have a “path of least resistance” to the graduation stage that allows apathy and indifference to lead to academic success. What secondary schools desperately need to do is to restore a sense of urgency while at the same time making that path of least resistance more challenging. I have developed what I believe is a free, teacher friendly plan that could help move us in that direction.
