Expectancy theory within Calvin
Calvin sees no reason for education. He expects that the reward of education is not worth it. In the comic below, he is able to put effort into writing when he changes his mindset and sees that the reward of putting effort into writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure poor reasoning and inhibit clarity. He practiced the skill making his performance better because of the effort he gave.
