"Thank you very much," they'll say, "but I'm fine with my C-". To change this trend, what could Mr. Walter do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) At some point there is a separation of grades. Everyone in society does not choose to pursue an advanced degree because of the work load, the cost, or because they are simply content with where they are. Not all students desire to make A's and B's. I agree that mastery of the content is the focus. Mr. Walter has given the opportunity. Some students may or may not take advantage of this opportunity. One motivator I have used in my classroom to help motivate students is coffee and doughnuts. If you will correct your graded assignment up to a B, then you will receive coffee and doughnuts. For some reason students like coffee and doughnuts. Some still chose not to correct their assignment and in return did not receive coffee and doughnuts.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Excellent response, wise and well put Rated On: October 18, 2014 4:09 am Rated By: aLaWyJ                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I like the idea of a motivator!
