Motivating Students

How do you motivate students to learn if they don't want to?

I wish I had a great answer. I believe that you have to engage your students. You know...find ways to get them involved. If they don't want to learn, they you have to convince them. However, you have to do it in such a way that they don't realize it. I believe it comes from engaging with students. It comes from challenging them, and it comes from BELIEVING in them. I was a poor student in high school, but all it took was one teacher who met me at my level and believed in me. It's a process, I know that, but we can do it.
