debate preparations

Quick write: yes smart kids should have their own school/class if they're ahead of others in their age group then they should be able to stay ahead rather than be kept at a pace that's slower than theirs. The same way slower kids have their own class like special Ed smarter kids should have their own like gifted and talented

your mindset and grades

Quick write: I don't think your mindset has anything to do with the grades you get in school .. School doesn't really test intelligence it tests memory so regardless of mindset you can pass or fail.

Reflection: knowing my mindset doesn't effect my grades, however my grades are affected by my attendance and the quality of work I give in.

Inside The Mindset

One way teachers can show students that they truly care is by actually talking to them I guess.. For example instead of just giving them the general speech actually talk to them try and make it relate to them personally so they will feel as if you actually care rather than another adult spreading the dream speech. Teachers can make students feel like failures by saying "do what you want then" or "I get paid regardless if you learn or not" nobody wants to hear that and even if a student is being difficult its just a rough exterior because if they didn't care about their education or future they wouldn't be sitting at a desk.

Mindset

After revisiting the survey questions and reading the article my choices are still the same.. I have a fixed mindset. Many may not agree with my choices but thats what makes us different. I understood the questions the first time, I understand the second time my comprehension didn't change so my answers remained the same.
