Think about the quote above. What does this mean to you? How could this apply to your life? How could this apply to your school work? I would love to give you less work in class if it meant you were going to focus harder on the work. Do you think you would get more out of it? Would that work for you? Why or why not?

"Do less with more focus" to me means that some work is unnecessary and that we should focus in the important tasks and put more work into those. In my life, it would apply to school work. Instead of doing a variety of assignments in different areas, I should have less assignments, and focus in one area. Also, instead of spreading and evenly dividing my time to all of the assignments, i would do only the important ones and spend more time on them. In my opinion, I think that teachers should use this policy. The teachers like to focus on one area at a time- in AP Calc, we do derivatives then integrals, not all at the same time. There are steps to learning- we learn chapter 5, but we do 5.1,5.2,5.3 etc in the right order to learn all the steps. Since teachers like to focus on one area, they should only give work that is necessary to learn that material. Then, have the students focus on that one area, but put more effort and focus into it. They could tell the students that it is for an accuracy grade, so they put in the effort to do it correctly and learn the material. Then, if they miss multiple questions, then the teacher can conference with the student to correct the issues. The student therefore learns more with less work.
