In week 1 of volunteering at BJM in the spring semester, I was tasked with helping two third graders with their math homework. They were doing simple multiplication and division problems. But both were having a lot of difficulty. When helping them, I noticed pretty soon that the work wasn’t all that difficult for them, but they were just having difficulty starting the homework. When I got them to do the first couple of problems, they did it very easily. However, they immediately lost motivation to finish work and just wanted to play games. This was a classic case of procrastination that college students do all the time. Rather than finish the work now, we would rather have fun now and do the work later. However, this situation made me wonder if learning is fun. I used to think learning was fun as a child because I remember school being fun. The two students I was teaching seemed to hate learning, but I wasn’t sure if that was just because they didn’t like math. Nonetheless, I think learning can be fun, as long as it is not extremely difficult. When the difficulty levels of learning become harder and harder, our motivation weakens and makes us think learning new stuff is boring. It was funny to see how quickly students’ opinions change towards learning, as both of the third graders immediately got excited to learn art right after finishing their homework.
