what have you used that seemed to be a positive motivator for your students, without it seeming like a bribe??

When I am feeling stressed I put myself in a 15-30 min. time out.

I wish that they would sit in or teach a class for one day to see how ineffective some of these standards are.

The best Idea I have gotten thus far was a was to do essay questions. I am not a fan of essay question but this is a good idea.

does anyone else agree that even when you set timelines students seem to need more and more..
