Student success?

Alan McLean in his excellent book The Motivated School makes a very thought provoking point when he states that, “The teacher’s role is not to give success to students but to put success within their grasp.”
I agree! What do you think?

A great article from Thomas L. Friedman of the IHT
an excerpt:
“Every young person will continue to need basic knowledge, of course,” he said. “But they will need skills and motivation even more. Of these three education goals, motivation is the most critical. Young people who are intrinsically motivated — curious, persistent, and willing to take risks — will learn new knowledge and skills continuously. They will be able to find new opportunities or create their own — a disposition that will be increasingly important as many traditional careers disappear.”
