argh.

My students are coloring and doing activity pages. They are quiet, cooperative, and on task (for the most part). Why is it that they seem to only be capable of this when no actual LEARNING is taking place? Why is it that when they're doing things that mean they have to stretch their brains, they get in fights and throw things instead?
(Why do I think I just answered my own question?)
Sigh.
