Not really class related but…
One of the things I like to do in class is to share stuff that I have been reading, listening to or watching that I have found interesting and/or informative. Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman have written another cover story for the New York Magazine. These are the same authors who wrote the pieces on sleep that I blogged about toward the end of last year. About a year ago Po and Ashley also wrote an article about praise and how it affects performance (you’d be surprised.) Anyway one of the students asked me to blog it so I have.
Kids lie early, often, and for all sorts of reasons — to avoid punishment, to bond with friends, to gain a sense of control. But now there’s a singular theory for one way this habit develops: They are just copying their parents.
Makes you think.
