You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try (Beverly Sills)



One of the main reasons for changing schools this year was student mindset. As in, my growing frustration with students who had the ability to study but decided not to.

That's a complicated thing. There are many reasons why someone won't commit to study. Nevertheless, the change has worked from that point of view. My expectations haven't changed but the collective mindset of the students in front of me is very different in my new school.

Again, it's a complicated set of reasons why that is so, and while I know from experience that educational utopias are a white whale, I am appreciating the difference.
