motivation in education

a detailed analysis of the education problem: schools have sufficient facilities and great teachers, but students are not willing to learn. if all students were motivated (curious, persistent, open-minded), teaching would be trivial — they could even learn on their own with minimal guidance using abundant online resources.

the vision: imagine a class full of motivated students. this simultaneously solves resource problems (everything is online), teacher burnout (they only answer questions, not lecture/chase), and behavioral issues. but motivated students are a tiny minority, and negative stereotypes exist around liking learning.

potential solutions: "some kind of app or something?" or raising awareness to get all schools to be this way. connects to the student consciousness program, the learning suite, and the you're not behind machine.
