i love talking to my teacher friends about their student woes. some (many?) smart kids will give stupid answers to boring questions if they can get away with it because it allows them to save energy for more fun and interesting stuff like playing with friends
hang out with kids and get a new perspective on why stuff doesn't get done — 80%+ of the time, nobody thinks they're being avoidant; whatever remains to be done has yet to be explicitly approved, is better left undone than "wrong," seems to have an undoable next step

tbh, reading Holt has increasingly convinced me that most kids experience classrooms in a state of semi-unconsciousness w/ peaks of low-level terror when they're called on; whatever comes out of their mouths then is their strategy for social survival, variable between kids
