[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've read that many schools in Europe and Asia promote giving children challenging work and then reward children by their effort level verses whether they did it correctly. They are more used to challenges as a result. In the US we are more likely to reward correctness instead of effort.[/quote] And how the heck are teachers supposed to recognize "effort level" when grading? This sounds like one of those educational theories that sound lovely in the abstract, but in reality is totally impractical. I'm a teacher and I'm trying to imagine how it would go over if I marked a student down who did his work correctly, but I perceived he didn't work hard enough. [/quote]
