In public schools. discipline is racism!
I can answer that
You have to make learning FUN
it’s the age old dilemma
I got turned on in Chemistry class to science by my teacher blowing up things and setting things on fire spontaneously
I liked the stuff so much ( sodium metal and phosphorus dissolved in CS2) that I stole it so me and my friends could have fun
Another example.
I happened upon a hydrogen car convention in 1990 and it set my career into hydrogen and renewable energy Still doing it
Bottom line
As an adult when done school. You have to find something you like to do that someone will pay you to do
My daughter 17 hated school. Dropped out got a GED.
started work right away as a chef in 5 Star restaurants
Now going to chef school and also got picked up off the street to be a model as well
Find a passion. Persue it !
