Question

All kids need to be motivated to learn while some kids have to be tricked into learning.

I taught kids in high school for the past ten years. The first couple of years, I 36 as if I was knocking my head 37 a wall. Nobody cared about learning and a lot of anger was 38 .When I left school,I found my car with flat tires. I was still 39 not to give up. The next week, my car was 40 with eggs that would not come off. This type of behavior was common and 41 .

Then one day, I decided to motivate the kids. I made a 42 that if everyone in the class 43 the semester with an 80% or better, I would 44 them to egg my car all they wanted to one day. If the class 45 a 90% or better, they could cut its tires 46 they turned into rubber bands. The kids took the 47 and left my car alone for the whole semester. They studied hard and helped each other to learn.

The last day came, and to my excitement, every student 48 above 90% for the semester. Then the kids 49 out twelve boxes of extra large eggs. Ten minutes later, the car was 50 trapped in eggs. The tires looked like rubber bands !

I thought it was 51 . The kids learned, and I only had my car 52 twice a year. I have made this bet for the past ten years with no 53 and 100% success. The moral of the story is that you must find what motivates the students at all 54 . I still drive my Camaro, and I was never able to fully clean the eggs off. It’s a 55 of their success!
