Chapter 6: Motivation and Boredom

the most surprising thing from this chapter was that students understood why it is important to be in school and then they often refuse to do the work or attend.

This really surprised me because if you know why it is important then why would you not take it seriously? Students listed very good reason to go to school that showed they really understood why it is important. Why doesn't that knowledge lead them to stick with school? Yes school is boring but that doesn't seem like a good enough reason to give up on it.
