Year 10 students (the 4th form in old money) is the least engaged year group at school. They are at a tipping point in Year 10. It's their age - 14. They know it all.

For many, overconfidence is their great weakness, and a liability to learning.

Contrary to their beliefs, they don't know it all at age 14. I certainly didn't, but I guess, yes, at that age - I thought I did!

Exasperating. I needed taking down a peg or two. The following year I failed School Certificate. Boom!

If you are already humble, nothing will need to be sent to humble you. Yet it's a lesson that some Year 10 students need to be continually reminded of from time to time: to dig in, and stay down to earth.

Life will deal out its own lessons if you don't.
