I read about this on one of the blogs I follow about people whom have a growth vs fixed mindset.
It made me start to think about the students. How can we foster a growth driven mindset into them, and get them out of this idea of fixed. I think many of them, more of them now then in the past, are stuck in this fixed mindset. This is where excuses come from, such "I'll never get it, I'm just not talented".
Perhaps through discussion and a safe learning environment we can foster this growth way of thinking. That reminds me, I should start reading that book Drive by Daniel Pink. Perhaps something in there will help as well.
