  Case: The never ending question
Why do I need to learn this? Ill never use this stuff again?!

We all know that we are bound to get this question.... at least 5 times.
What are some ways we, as teachers, can help relate the classwork to real life problems and situations?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Restrict a question limit for these students. Make a light hearted game out of it so the student doesn't feel angry about their restriction of questions. And for these specific questions make it an assignment for the students to either prove me wrong how they will not need this information and I will provide them with the information on how and why they do. They can collaborate together to present their case to me and I will do the same. A reward will be given to the winner.
