I have seen this in high school, too. I think students have learned that A is doing going to be the default grade but the exceptional grade, but I have to admit C is not my defaut grade either, but a low grade.
“Instead of getting an A, they make an A,” he said. “Similarly, if they make a lesser grade, it is not the teacher’s fault. Attributing the outcome of a failure to someone else is a common problem.”
External locus of control seems to be attained later and later. I have many times explained this distinction to students. They see grades as something that results from how much a teacher likes them or luck more than how much effort they put in or how well they've written.
if students developed a genuine interest in their field, grades would take a back seat, and holistic and intrinsically motivated learning could take place.
Sadly, I wonder how realistic this is, based on what I've seen. I wish I taught in a school with no grades. They come between the student and learning.
Goof-off time shouldn’t be limited to summer vacation: it’s important all year.
st American children in the not-so-distant past, “going out to play” was the norm. Today, according to a University of Michigan study,
Just an hour a day of vigorous play — running, chasing, games like tag or dodge ball, and even dealing with or avoiding being excluded from these activities — can provide intense skill learning.
Deprive a social mammal like a rat or monkey of its normal rough-and-tumble play and it enters adulthood emotionally fragile, unable to tell friend from foe, poor at handling stress and lacking the skills to mate properly.
Play is an active process that reshapes our rigid views of the world.
Reading/Writing. Display images, words, or phrases for writing prompts in
creative writing or poetry class. Model savvy formatting and editing skills by
giving live demonstrations in your word-processing software. And put away those
old flashcards—young students love singing karaoke to practice their
pronunciation and identify targeted sight words.
A great animation website designed for children. They can draw pictures or use some of the pre-made pictures. Note that not all of these pictures are free to use, but the basics will be fine for most classroom users.

That finding highlights one of Marzano’s key conclusions from the study. The teachers who were most effective using the whiteboards displayed many of the characteristics of good teaching in general: They paced the lesson appropriately and built on what students already knew; they used multiple media, such as text, pictures, and graphics, for delivering information; they gave students opportunities to participate; and they focused mainly on the content, not the technology.
