The Drive to Learn: What the East Asian Experience Tells Us about Raising Students Who Excel –  Cornelius N. Grove Ed.D.

What the East Asian experience tells us about raising students who excel. There has been concern about the lack of motivation with American schooling and the lack of attentiveness of the students in the classroom, the disinterest in learning. Dr. Grove, instead of blaming the teachers, suggests that the students themselves need to step up in attentiveness, acquiring the drive/motivation to enjoy learning. A different perspective that puts more responsibility on the student than currently required.
