That's the thing. By practicing the information, and teaching them how it relates to real life applications, students tend to want to learn more. Also, by a teacher being enthused about teaching and making learning fun, students remember things much better. Lastly, by not focusing so much on what the students will need for a test, learning becomes a LOT easier, and not simply about cramming information in.
Show them why they need to learn it and they'll want to learn it.
