read up on dopamine if you didn't understand

While you're on that, you could research how things don't become more interesting by the absence of more interesting things and how dopamine is required for attention and information retention.

Doing nothing to motivate except removing potential distractions from unengaging school work doesn't work and can even hurt students' mental health as they experience issues of guilt and inadequacy from being unable to do what's required of them.
