But here's the paradox: the teenager may tirelessly to calculate how many grains of wheat was supposed to receive a reward legendary inventor of a chess game, how many hours or days will fly to Mars spaceship. Interesting! And to determine how many days two tractors plow field, look for traditional X will be under duress, or throw at all. Uninteresting!
A teenager can spend hours to pick up a crossword puzzle, "the pet of five letters," be pleased to read an ordinary detective to find out who committed a theft. Interesting! And exercise is voiced and voiceless consonants are the same perform teenager with disgust or try to write off a neighbor. Uninteresting!
Learn the same with a computer keyboard to work independently, observe the appearance of text written on the screen - interesting! The interest of the student - an indispensable and often quite sufficient condition for successful learning.

During one examination session, students take exams ahead of time, while others are poorly prepared, are very bad and then try to retake the "tails" ... Appear numerous statements, reports, information, referral to additional delivery and re-sit. Hundreds of people in the departments, the dean, in a study of drowning in a sea of papers. Even the leaders of the university will learn about the outcome of the session only after a training of employees will make the final reports.
