The survey included responses from nearly 135,000 students across the U.S. What is instructive are the reasons students cited for being bored. The primary reasons included material that is not interesting (80%), material that isn’t relevant to their lives (more than 40%), material that is too difficult (about 25%), material that is too easy (about 33%), and lack of interaction with teachers (about 33%).

This is important information. If schools were a business dealing with customers, steps would certainly be taken to reduce customer dissatisfaction. It is not a stretch to think of high school students as customers. What steps can be taken to reduce their dissatisfaction?
