You definitely have a point. I imagine there is no good, scientific method to determining how someone should be motivated that we can train teachers with. Just have to trust they're human enough to see our inspirations before they apply their method. We can't all be amazing psychiatrists, and adults have a lot of influence on us at that age. I too benefited from a stand-offish approach to learning. I wish the better teachers were paid more to be in our schools - I had a teacher that completely ruined my love for animation. Largely I think schools exhaust kids to get them to change/conform.

The Montessori method pretty much nails it.
