[quote=Anonymous]Besides mindfulness, my kids’ school emphasizes having a growth mindset, especially for math. I don’t have any problem with the concept, but I find it a waste of time for two reasons. First, they read and discuss the *same* books every year. My DD just tolls her eyes at them. Second, like so many of these things, they are preaching a lesson for the last generation. These kids haven’t come along in an environment where they get numerical grades and rankings from the start, and kids are viewed as either “getting” or “not getting” math. The problem of rigidly classifying kids is already handled by the standards-based report cards, the curriculum that develops number-sense and logic, etc.[/quote]
