One thing that was mentioned that I agree with is that to maintain motivation, a teacher must "emanate passion" in front of students. I also agreed with the idea that as a teacher, you cannot take it personally or get angry when students don't do what you've told them to do. I am currently studying to be a music teacher, and I have learned by observing other teachers that another very important aspect in maintaining motivation is to communicate with other teachers and bounce ideas back and forth- which is what you are doing here!

It has completely reinvigorated me while I'm taking a semester off. My favorite book on teaching: “Teach Like Your Hair’s On Fire” by Rafe Esquith.

I was one of those kids who was very intrinsically motivated, and did not look to my teachers to do it for me. I had teachers which inspired me, but, when it came to doing what I needed to do, then, it was on me. So, while you make a number of provocative points, Joel, there has to be some degree of motivation emanating from the students. Motivation is a perplexing concept for me.
