In Chapter 5: The Learners, Tagg sums up  by saying, "...most students who leave high school and enter college bring with them a set of attitudes and beliefs about schooling...that tend to insulate them against learning rather than to prepare them for it....Unless colleges can change the attitudes and beliefs that disable many students as learners, most of their efforts to create effective learning environments will be ineffective" (47).

Do you find that your students (or some of them) remain "insulated against learning"? Do you work to change their attitudes and beliefs?
