OP, if kids are doing nothing in class, orally or on paper, but still getting 4s, you need to fix your grading policies.  My kids got mixes of 3s and 4s, and that is with getting nearly perfect scores on every test, being in the highest groups, and completing all assigned work.  The 2nd grade teacher even had rubrics for all of the projects and writing work.

Every teacher my kids have had would be giving 2s to the kids who aced all of the tests but completed none of the assigned work or completed it poorly.

If kids aren't turning in math homework, aren't doing any of the projects, aren't turning in their creative writing stories, aren't turning in their history biographies, etc., then why are you giving them 4s?  If they are turning them in and doing a decent job with them, then how can you justify insisting that they're "doing nothing?"[/quote]
