Also i found it helped alot when teachers would say you could bring a cd in and when it was time to just sit and work we could have the music playing. It’s also really not nice when they aren’t allowed to talk at all, it tends to make them want to rebel and they concentrate more on trying to find ways to commicate with eachother i.e through notes than actually doing the work.

The best motivation that i think they have for doing well and actually trying is liking the teacher, if the lesson is fun and the teacher shows them respect then i think they are alot more motivated to do well for them.

Thats what i was like anyway!
