Hee. Reading this made me smile, because that nail clipping toddler strategy is my biggest secret to getting my high school students enthusiastic to do assignments. Instead of getting the usual groans across the classroom, I give them a choice of assignments, make them vote on it, and suddenly they're cheering to have "won" an assignment when the majority gets their way. LOL. I always stack the deck, by putting in something truly tedious into the mix, so everything else looks better by comparison. Been teaching reluctant teenagers for 15 years now, and this trick works EVERY time. *g*
