  Case: Students won't read at home
I teach high school English, and my students refuse to read at home. Sure, I try to give them interesting texts to read, but there are some things we are required to read that simply aren't interesting. Any ideas?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
High school is hard!
I would find out from the students any motivations that might work? Party day? Extra credit?
Let the students help you decide, the more ownership they take in it the better it will work

The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes

The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No
The suggested solution is original No
Comments: I don't think this solution is very useful. Even if the students help to come up with some sort of "reward" for completing the required readings, this doesn't ensure that the students will actually read the material.
