Teacher to student: Why aren't you working. Do you understand the task?
Student to teacher: Yes.
Teacher to student: Please get on with your work.
Student to teacher: Its boring, this is. Learning should be fun.
T to S: (quietly) I'm trying to make it relevant to you, using lots of different examples that you would know.
S to T: But its boring. You should be making it fun.
T to S: (with restraint) OK, So, tell me what kind of learning you like to do. What can I do to help make it more interesting for you?
S to T: Well ... we should be allowed to sit with our friends and talk, then it'd be fun.
T to S: (still restrained) I have already let you work with your friend, and not much work got done. How else can I make it more interesting?
S to T: Its boring, this.
T to S: I KNOW ITS BLOODY BORING GIRL, BUT MOST OF LIFE IS. GET OVER IT.

So intellectually stimulating, education.
