Re: [Understand] intrinsic rewards...

[MrsJRoman]

By the time my sixth graders get to me in middle school, they have usually  
experienced so much failure and have "done" school for so long, it is extremely 
 difficult to have them see the value of intrinsic rewards. Many of them 
display  such a hard core of apathy that appears so well developed that it 
seems  
impossible to penetrate. But I persevere with my shovels, pick axes, crow 
bars,  chisels as well as any other tools of the trade that I can amass and  
occasionally just ever so fleetingly I can see something that resembles  a 
spark of 
recognition that hopefully can be challenged to move toward the  flame of 
understanding.
