coping comment

It was nice to read a blog about an idea that i dont think we really discussed in class before. The idea of coping as an indiactor of motivation has never crossed my mind. LIke you i always saw just coping with school and grades was a negative, until this article i never realized how important it was for a student to be able to handle failure inorder to increase motivation. I also like this blog because it pointed out that there are many players in a childs educational development. It is not only the job of the teacher but a network of adults all commited to the childs development.
