Thoughts on a Frustrated Friday

When will the bell ring, and end this weariness

How long have they tugged the leash, and strained apart,
My pack of unruly hounds! I cannot start
Them again on a quarry of knowledge they hate to hunt,
I can haul them and urge them no more.

---Last Lesson of the Afternoon, D. H. Lawrence

Why do the kids hate to hunt the quarry of knowledge? Why did I hate text books myself? Still do? Why was school like dragging my soul through dirt

What's engaging? What engages you? Epic wins? Marks?
