“This rubric is too restrictive.” Student yesterday loudly and dramatically bemoaning the parameters of our final project. Me: Okay. Do it your way. Throw the rubric away. Student: Really? Ok, bet. The outcome? Don’t know. Don’t really care. Other than he now cared.

Not every kid wants an A. And that’s okay. Sometimes, honest expectations are more authentic than “high”expectations. Where they are.

No directions. Only questions. In an effort to launch learning more actively (and less passively), I am going to quit reading directions and start preparing to answer (hopefully) a million questions. They read first. I help next. Teaching is helping. This, I believe. 🙂

Maybe “they” are necessarily the yin to our yang. Divided. United. It’s a choice. We can all do better.

No, these kids can’t spell. And while I bemoan this increasingly evident reality, I am not sure we can make it matter—in the long run, for today’s shortcut world. -No periods in texting -No apostrophes in contracting -no capitals in “I” We are no longer in control.
