What expression do you use?

When you want your students to work harder and try to improve their academic results, what informal expression do you use? You have to pull your socks up, you have to tighten your belts or are they old-fashioned? Any new ones?

Hi Yolanda,
Buck up your ideas, lads and lassies more work less play and the very effective but slightly pompous "Impress me" |
