Sure, the teacher that is complacent is part of the issue but why does everyone seem to think that the right teacher can motivate the entire class? On a one to one basis, sure. That isn't practical in a class of say 30 + students. If the student has poor motivation because of lack of motivation, be it peer pressure, consequence of failure, parental attention, etc, etc, how can we expect a teacher, besides in a movie, to motivate class after class into doing their work?
