“One important lesson is that other people aren’t always the reason for your problems – the cause might lie in yourself, so if you want things to change you should start with yourself.”

“Professor Peter Gray "The goal in class, in the minds of the great majority of students, is not competence but good grades"
By focusing primarily on grades and exam results, there's a danger the student will miss out on the other things education has to offer.... Career opportunities and the material things good grades might bring our kids are not the only important things in life.”

“As with all things in a Dutch childhood, gradual, regulated exposure seems to be the key to progress. There’s less focus on milestones, on children having to be able to do things by a certain age. Instead, parents watch out for indications that a child is ready for a new step and eager to attempt it. It’s the same for potty training and swimming as for cycling: The best progress is made when it is child-led, not parent-pushed.”
