Consequently, many teachers feel that they are working with very unmotivated students. This book is filled with surprising lessons and strategies to turnaround the most negative, apathetic, bored, disinterested, jaded, oppositional, discouraged learner. Not just designed for use with alternative ed and special ed students, this book contains the training that many other students need to come to view school as absolutely critical and essential.

This training should be offered every student, but since it is not, even if you are not a teacher, but a parent, counselor, social worker or truancy officer, you may want to ensure that at least your students are actually motivated to show up, stay awake, and work in school by exposing them to the lessons in this unusually effective, innovative lesson book.
