This guide to another treatment that students can adopt in their learning process is an academic challenge. Students must stop looking for the enabler, Polonium. Polonium is a degrading factor that makes school a "smooth" experience for students, a common spreader of Ophelia Syndrome. Find the teachers who deny a student the chance to be Polonius. Identify inspiring and powerful teachers who “refuse to make you a child and refuse to think for you” (Plummer, 1990, p.440). As students learn to challenge themselves, the evidence of this syndrome begins to fade. Tanner explains being academically demanding with an example of his own, showing how he analyzes all the words and passages to truly understand them. “the way they are put together, the possible symbolism, the clever use of literary devices and new meanings that perhaps I had never noticed or understood before, all become evident in the process of memorization.” Is it easy to do? Convenient? No. However, to sincerely receive substantial learning, challenging yourself as a learner is not only recommended, but necessary as an authentic learner and achieve more sincere and individual learning
