Learning should be inherently pleasant and self motivated, not stressful.
Science should incite curiosity and wonder, not conjure tedium.

self-motivation etc. can be easily achieved, you are very wrong.  Very
idealistic - not practical.  We do try, of course.  Math esp. is hard to
make fun.  bill w
