If they wanna.... In my position last year, it was chaos! Admin would always have meetings, if you dangle this carrot, if you dangle that carrot, they will wanna.....
I thought this was horrible! If they attend all week, they can do this, if they have a good day and do their work, they can...if they do x, y and z, they can attend the dance, play basketball. But the kids never wanted to wanna for that carrot, and most times, the carrot was given anyway. I think what he says is so true, yet not many follow this reasoning. There are other reasons they can't or don't want to and reasons you may not know as to why they can't or don't want to succeed. If everyone on the team is not on the same page, that carrot will dangle until it rots!
