1. Do you learn more from success or from failure?

2. If the development of qualities such as taking initiative, working independently, being polite, and having a positive attitude are desirable, why don't we measure them in school?

3. "Students know that grades are what counts in school, and that is where they concentrate their efforts." p.76  What benefits are there for student self assessment?

The first 10 people who arrive on day three with a baseball cap on backwords, will win a door prize.
