I don't think you can ... however, if you find someone who is eager to
learn, you can help them. If you COULD teach someone to learn, school
districts around the country, nay, the world, would be all over you!!!
What you're really asking for is the key to motivation.
If they WANT to learn, you can teach them. If they don't want to learn, all
you can do is waste your time.
IMHO, that is.
