I asked a child to sharpen 6 pencils, to sharpen them and after sharpening them, to take one and put the rest away. The child first gave me one pencil and took the rest.
The student then sharpened one and began to walk back over and put the one pencil in the bin. I said wouldn’t it be easier if you sharpen all the pencils then keep one and then return all the pencils to the bin.
The child looked at me and said good idea.
This is middle school. Why do I need to explain this?

I think the same reason that I have to take points off for not putting their darn name on the papers. But you are teaching them critical thinking skills by doing that. Sometimes they just need to be told and maybe this child will never forget to work. Smarter. Not harder

That is another pet peeve of mine.
