Do students respond well?

When I was in school, a lot of teachers did a little tidbit of history at the start of topics, but I never latched onto it and found it boring. It was only after my studies that I started to really love going back to the origin.

Well, you can make almost any subject interesting if you do it right. In my experience it's mostly the teachers fault if students are bored.

That said, some students cannot be activated whatever your do. We're all people.
