Today I saw Victor teach and did the POP. I like his very calm delivery style. I've also been realizing that some of these kids who are not really putting in the effort to do well may not necessarily be irrational--I think part of the problem is that they don't have the right incentives. If they get socially promoted, always have the chance to retake exams, can go to The Learning Center and work at their own pace to pass classes that they fail, and have 9 tries to pass a basic math exam, why try the first time? From their point of view, it's not worth putting in the effort.
I love the HSP kids!! They really seemed to get something out of it, the reviews were all quite positive, even for those who had seen this activity before. Not sure how it will go with the regular classes though.
