Great points – we often are teaching concepts that will eventually be relevant in life, but if they aren’t relevant now, that can be a tough sell. Throughout the course you’ll see some contexts that are relevant to students – some that are relevant and useful, others that are relevant and not so useful. The key is that students can understand the context snd make comparisons from there.
