I always wondered at school if the teachers where really interested in the lessons they gave. Like, they just grabbed book nr A, lesson B and said thats it. Okay, sometimes they explain it, but then again i think, why do they do it like that? Show me practical stuff, make it FUN for me and interesting.

As for coding, i totally learned it myself, i grabbed a book and with pure interest i learned to code. When i am not interested or not in the mood, i wont do it.

Although 'not in the mood' is not 'doable' at a school (well, there is ONE school who lets kids almost 100% free in what they want to learn) , i do think you have to motivate kids and make your lessons attractive. Even some boring stuff should be made interesting.... although that is NOT easy.
