Sir Ken Robinson is one of my favourite authors when it comes to educational reads. Try watching his TED talks if you are short of time. Although the author comments about the educational system which may be beyond the control of most teachers, to our students, the system is us. There are some changes which teachers could do to make students feel that attending school is worthwhile. For some, being physically present pose no problem but engaging mind, body and heart is something to consider. Rather than think about IF ONLY I HAVE...THEN I WILL...Why not make do with what you have, wherever you are.
