"If I don't like school now, why would I go to more school? If school is boring and I don't see myself reflected in what I'm learning and its relevance to my life, then why_ go for more?"
See I found this funny when I read it but it is also realistic. If a student is not feeling represented or motivated than it is going to be difficult for them to want to show up. This is connected to the readings on YPAR because how can we expect students to show interest and care about their education when they don't feel like others do that for them?
