Something I said to one of my students today…
You’re curious and smart and you always seek to understand and learn once you’ve been given a proper chance to be interested.
Your school rebuffs curiosity and interest by teaching in a formulaic way that you, understandably, find boring.
Your school mostly rewards discipline and those who’ve been lucky to find some interest through same way other than through their lessons.
You’re hard working and you’re smart. The fact that your grades aren’t high isn’t a reflection of your intelligence — it’s a consequence of your lack of inspiration.
Remember that there are many kinds of intelligence. Curiosity is one of the most important of all of them.
You don’t have to succeed in a broken school system to be a success in life and to be an important part of society.
