Write an argumentative essay that examines the effects of student-to-teacher praise on academic motivation. In this essay, provide evidence and examples to support your argument, and include an analysis of potential counterarguments. Additionally, discuss the role of teacher feedback in shaping student motivation, and whether or not the type of praise given (e.g. specific vs. general) has an impact on its effectiveness. Finally, consider the implications of your findings for educators, parents, and policymakers in terms of how they should approach student feedback and praise.
