    Ever notice how few kids fail the classroom part of driver ed?  Ever 
notice how few kids fail the written part of the drivers' license exam?
    You are correct: motivation has a lot to do with it, and we shouldn't 
forget that.  The trick is making kids think that the math test is as 
important as the drivers' ed test.
