The profound thinking of Dr. Deming applied to schooling.
It's not the responsibility of educators to motivate children to learn. They come to us in kindergarten already motivated. It is the job of educators to figure out what is unmotivating students and stop doing it. This is but one example of how Dr. Deming's look at the whole system can help teachers, principals, superintendents, legislators and many others interested in the education of youth.
