Quotation
"The surest path to positive self esteem is to succeed at something which one perceived would be difficult."Sylvia Rimm says,
Each time we steal a student's struggle, we steal the opportunity for them to build self-confidence. They must learn to do hard things to feel good about themselves. Removing a student’s opportunity to experience failure is tantamount to removing a student’s opportunity to experience success.
Action Step
This is a good time to meet with your building principal, school superintendent or local school board members to discuss the need for students to engage in challenging tasks.
