* Lots of sitting still. My local school canceled recess several years ago to make sure the kids had more studying time. * Fine motor skills like good handwriting are rewarded, often explicitly as part of the grade. * Verbal skills are often explicitly rewarded, even if they don't have much to do with a subject. My local school asks students to write and make a presentation about their math answer. It doesn't matter if they get the right answer as long as the presentation is professional and impressive.
