I was pleased to hear the book acknowledge that some students may naturally get left out of the self constructed process today. This had always been a thought in my mind while reading the book. The book stated some might get left out due to lack of motivation, or lack of acceptance by their peers.
Age seems to have a lot to do with engagement too, which might explain why I am having trouble incorporating the concept into my own classroom. The younger kids seem to have a more natural/stronger drive for learning while outside factors take a bigger tole on the older students.
I still believe in this style of learning and am ambitious to find other ways to make it work with my current teaching style.
