  • Yeah, turning it into a big deal like that just stresses most kids out. There are ways to pump kids up without turning the tests into a state championship of sorts.

    this is what I mean.

    My Mom used to come in, turn on the overhead light, and sing, "Good morning, Katie Sunshine, it's nice to see you today, get out of bed, you sleepyhead, it's time to start the day."  Then she would strip the top of the bed, forcing me into the bright cold.

    That is just fuckingevil.

    My mom usually waited until about her fourth trip to my room before she'd ask in an exasperated tone, "Are you going to school today?!"  I once said no, and she said, "OK," and left the room.  I think the shock of my mom not freaking out woke me up faster than ever before.

  • DH's response to my complaining about the teachers acting as cheerleaders this morning

    "at least they didn't have the kids genuflect again."

  • In college my friends and I cheered ourselves on before every test ("you're great! you're wonderful! you're going to do well!") and then continued that on to our various secondary education institutions. It helped me focus.
