RANDY SPRICK'S SAFE & CIVIL SCHOOLS NEWSLETTER ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BEHAVIORAL TIP FROM RANDY SPRICK Classrooms seem to function more smoothly and productively when students are excited to come to school and participate in classroom activities. So, what can you do to motivate students who act bored and express an "I don't care" or "this is stupid" attitude? If you have a student who displays apathetic behavior, your primary goal is to increase his or her interest, motivation, and excitement about school and class activities. Before we talk about how to do this, however, it is helpful to understand why students act bored.
