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?
