“And the teacher's role is to really not just make it fun for the sake of fun, but make it fun in service of the learning. So the fun should come through the fact that students are more successful, that students are doing it more than they before”

“Learning is really hard and it might be difficult, but there is joy to be found, joy to be found in the overcoming of that difficulty, in the perseverance of getting through it, in the intrinsic motivation to do better than you did previously or to beat your personal score.”
