"Students at Bat" Article

This article discussed the importance of giving responsibilities back on students. Today, it seems that adults do everything for children at home and in school compared to a couple of decades ago. Because of this "children today have few opportunities to learn about sharing, establishing rules, fairness, and responsibility". Some of the suggestions for teachers include letting students decide how to use their time, choose classroom rules, choose work locations, choose tasks, develop rubrics, implement student-led conferences, and report achievement and behaviors separately.

I thought the article had a lot of great points. Children barely have to think for themselves because adults do everything for them. Giving students the opportunity to be responsible for their work is important, and students will actually want to learn and take responsibility of their work.
