Hi Noralee: Good. I believe most students want to try their best, if given the opportunity, resources, appropriate instruction, and positive feedback. In each area, there can be a breakdown or weakness in the process. When students can see something is in it for themselves, they will pay attention. There numerous activities that focus on the career or work setting that promote and emphasize the skills and knowledge they will need to be succesful graduates and employees. Keeping things focused on the job, career, or work setting helps keep attention. Regards, Barry
