We found that the validation of Cooper's work from his teacher and his parents was very important for his self esteem. We thought that this opportunity would provide a great motivational tool for doing the assigned work. Finally, the notoriety and "celebrity" of putting their work online also is a tremendous motivational tool as well. We think having other people reading their postings from around the world would inspire the kids to do their best work possible. Sent from my iPadYPS E-Mail Disclaimer: View at http://bit.ly/YPSemail
