Senior Thesis
Well, I think I finally figured this out, and hopeful this will work. I am finishing up my last few weeks of student teaching and I have been thinking about my thesis and what would be something that I have learned or want to learn more about from my student teaching. Most of the problems that I have had during my student teaching with both the high school and the middle school students is lack of motivation. There were 60/100 students failing with under 30% because they refused to do anything in the high school. I want to do my thesis on how to motivate students and why it seems like the desire to learn seems to lesson each year (as my teachers were telling me).

Good, manageable research question. You could also turn it around and say that the faculty of the HS refused to teach/motivate 40% of the students, a disproportionate number of whom are black or brown, and poor. That might provide another lever with which to move the rock!
