[quote=Anonymous][quote]Did you know that when kids are asked to be creative, they do amazing things? And when they're told the most creative project gets a prize, their stuff turns out to be much less creative? It's so interesting how that works. [/quote] Nobody told my son, who has ASD and is in 2nd grade, that he would be getting an achievement award in math this year, so it didn't affect his motivation either way. But he did get one, and it was awesome for him to get recognition for something other than being terrible at sports and socially awkward. [/quote]
