How students play school well.

I recently read a blog from The Fischbowl. The blog was called The Possibility of More. The blog was short but gave you links to some of the post that Jeff Krause put up that he is going to try to do for his American Literature class. I adore the topic sentence of the Possibility of More part 1. It stated, "As with all crazy ideas, it occurred at approximately 3 a.m. – the time when you can convince yourself that just about anything will work." It’s a great way to start a blog. Unlike how my blog just started. It’s true though if you wake up at 3 in the morning you’re bound to have at least one crazy idea. Something while I was reading just jumped out at me. It explained that kids will take more risks when they don’t have to worry about what grade they will get. This is true. As a student personally I’m bound to do more risks if I know that I get it wrong it won’t have a big effect. What I’ve heard a lot recently is how students know how to play the game of school. This blog like some of the teachers I have restated this statement. Just in a different way. This blog jumped out to me. I became very interested in it, which is why I'm glad I took the time to read it.
