New Ways to Win
Dear reader,
I have been trying out praise as a motivational tool. To my surprise, it is working. With a simple "thanks" and "I really appreciate your effort", attendance at my CCA is at an all-time high. Even with the omission of games, I actually see the Secondary 1s enjoying their usually mundane footdrill training.
Even on the academic side, I have been encouraging students to look for me on their own to clarify their doubts. So far my Secondary 2 and 3 classes have been actively finding me for remedial. Even a bit of affirmation is highly sought-after by the students.
So far, my attempts to change my cynical language is in progress, highly encouraged by the recpetion of my students.
