Yesterday I was doing a computer math program with a student. He tends to be "off task" a lot and a "happy clicker" with the computer mouse, so I brought some M & M's with me, and every time he got an answer right, he got an M & M. (I know, brilliant.) He was doing very well, getting lots of M & M's and this seemed to be a great motivator for him. There was a teacher in the room with us, and I said to her, "It's like Pavlov!" The student said, "No, it's chocolate."
That's why you're in summer school!
