Chapter 6: Motivation and Bordem

In the book Fires in the Bathroom by Kathleen Cushman, Chapter 6 discusses what motivates our students in schools. "The mark of a good teacher is that no matter how weird or boring you might think their subject is, their love for it is what pushes you to learn something" (103). I really found that quote interesting because now when I think back on my past educational experience both in college and high school, I have learned best from the teachers that have thoroughly enjoyed what they are teaching. It stimulates me to enjoy what I am learning, I like how this chapter represents that idea of motivating kids to learn.
