Motivation is an invisible force which controls and provokes all people’s activities. It includes organization, discipline and singleness of the behavior for achieving a particular result. Motivation is a state which can be temporary or constant and in its basics stand humans’ instincts as well as more highly developed ones – desires and aims.

Poll results:
What do students say about being motivated to go to school?
“ I hope that I will be able to provide my children with a good and secure life after I have found good career prospects.”
“ I don’t want to disappoint my parents. I want them to be proud of me one day.”
“ What would motivate me is if teachers are more understanding.”
“ I would be more motivated if there was some kind of system of rules that borders the requirements to be equally good at everything.“
“ It would be best if there were clear and exact standards of judgment which are valid for everyone.”
“ I go to school mainly to be among my friends, to socialize.”
“ A great idea would be to have guidance counselors who will be able to help us in any moment to find the right way for development in life.”
What demotivates you?
That we don’t know the practical use of what we learn.
The old-fashioned methods of teaching.
The lack of guidance counselors to help us decide on our professional orientation.
There is no shortcut to where you want to go, but at least you can try.
If you don’t know where you have headed, you will go somewhere else.
Life is a journey with a goal. I may go slowly, but never backwards. Only the one who swims upstream will find the
spring. Only the one who goes with the flow will see where the river ends.
Never cut what you can untie. Everyone CAN when they HAVE TO. Those who let themselves waste even a part of
their time, haven’t realized how precious life is. Turn your eyes on what you can do, not on what
you can’t change. When you change your way of thinking, the world
changes too.

Analysis of the poll results shows conclusive agreement between teachers and parents on the following statements:

The cooperation between school and parents is desirable and necessary
Will for realization should be strongly stimulated
Project regulating the missing ,broken and incomplete relations (bonds) based

The quality system demands exact and clear rules .
The school rules should include the definition and regulation of the relations between the four subjects .
We suggest a scheme improving the bonds in order to create conditions to acquire the competencies , necessary for people nowadays.
