Let's guess. The best students. . .
- Doodle and make wisecracks to impress their friends.
- Sit in the back of the room and daydream.
- Do the minimum and no more.
- Don't study the subject as it is but as they wish it were.
- Try to memorize everything.
- Know facts but can't explain the subject.
- Have close relatives who die whenever deadlines loom.
- Let four weeks pass before buying the textbook.
- Spend each class session wondering whether they are falling in love with a student two desks over.
- Are always thinking about what happened last night.
- Can't wait to show the teacher how smart they are.
- Act bored because bored is cool.
- Can text-message, surf the Internet, think about the weekend, and learn at the same time.
- Never show up on time or have a pen.
- Do the work, ask questions, and listen.
