how do we get students to move beyond civil attention to true engagement in the classroom?
Understand that not every student is the same. These examples are for more introverted students while the ones who are extroverts, or even both, may not want to engage as much. Some people do learn better on their own, it just comes down to knowing the students well and how they think.
We are guided not by individual consciousness, but by the orders of others. Thus many of our actions are inhuman, not because of the scale of their cruelty, but because they are impersonal, efficient. and performed without any real emotion.
When guided by others we are blinded by what is really happening and we do not feel for that situation. In this generation there is many cases of that which lead to bullying because someone is controlling someone else.
