All want to fit future citizens for the life that they are growing into.
Motivations differ, however.
Students and their parents want the best possible life for themselves and for their loved ones. Their concern is with the individual growth and development of a unique and wonderful learner. That learner is on a singular quest to realize personal hopes, dreams, visions, goals, and objectives. Education succeeds if the learner is joyfully engaged and achieving or expanding his or her full potential. Community leaders and policymakers have a somewhat different motivation.
