I am not a motivational expert but have done some reading on this. If you happen to be so sincerely negative in your classroom, you are helping many to persist and succeed. Sometimes that sincerely negative input is what the students need. God Bless! |

What about sincerely snarky?
There's a time and a place for positiveness, but then there's a time to tell someone that it's best that he/she/hu focus his/her/hus attention elsewhere.

Sometimes that sincerely negative input is what the students need. God Bless! I have never heard of such a thing as suggesting that negativity in the classroom will help students succeed. Can you give us a reference? |

Bless you, concerned parent, as you disappear down the back of the drier with all the other lost socks. Are you accusing me of being the puppeteer of CP? Nope, not mine. Did I match the style though? I don't know if I was weird enough. I should probably just hang out over at PWP. |

I should be at PWP (or Posting While Drinking Cough Medicine...) |

Not a problem. I can't help but think someone's pulling CP's strings. |
