Quote

Our main complaint as students (and this has not changed) was not that the work was too hard, but that it was boring, and this complaint was and still is valid.“Boring” usually meant that we could not relate what we were asked to do with how we might use it in our lives. For example, it is deadly boring to memorize facts that neither we, nor anyone we know, will ever use except for a test in school. The most obvious measure of the effective teachers we remember is that they were not boring; somehow or other what they asked us to do was satisfying to us.
