I found this perfect bit from xkcd on Tiara Shafiq’s blog, EducateDeviate. I know that we can’t have teenagers running amok and learning only what interests them, but wouldn’t it be cool if we could? They’d probably still find a reason to loathe adults, but maybe the angst would be diluted ever so slightly.

We need to find a way to turn that “homework” into a weekend messing with perl….assignments that engage and encourage students to do what they love. This can definitely be accomplished within any discipline… with the right faculty/teacher.
