@msbsmith :Why does a student come to class? This is the bottom line to several answers. New job, new skill, or a willingness to help others or even for the money. But what keeps them is the way inwhich they learn. One cannot teach passively, it is an aggressive sport of sorts, with a set of plays, various strategies and a goal for the team. We coach and direct and get in there and demonstrate to set an example. We can only judge the results by how much content we delivered, were we passionate, clear and fun to be around during the agony and ecstasty of the entire class. You only get out the results of what you put in, so motivation of oneself is how to succeed as a teacher.
