I teach at an alternative school and I can identify with everything you have articulated here, especially the part about how you spend your days and nights "thinking of ways to make them want to do and be" a self-motivated learner. This is also my life. Sometimes it is overwhelming knowing the repercussions my students face in their lives if they "don't get it now." I love your idea of the flow experience because to get to a positive future, they must be present and awake in this moment. Thank you for making this post.
