Yes, Yes, Yes, I agree 100% (which I don't often do:>)! My classroom is living 
proof of this. The first year we took the Ohio Proficiency test 9% of our 
students passed. Last year 26% passed. This year I told my students that if 60% 
of them pass the Science portion of the proficiency test I will let Ms. King, 
the Principal, shave my head, with poodle clippers, in front of the whole 
school. Ms. King went crazy with the idea (I pick on her ALOT) and told the 
kids she would call the newspaper and TV. I'm going to prove that success in 
passing a multiple choice  proficiency test is more a matter of motivation then 
it is knowing facts!
One Happy Teacher!!!!!


Hello Turtlers,

Here's one single sentence, from a long article at:
http://www.terrapinlogo.com/whylogo/


"...In Logo, the process of creating your product is more important than
the finished product. It is more interesting and educational to look at
how a design was created than to look at the design itself."

I love that.
