"our levels of growth mindset are innate and vary tremendously from person to person." One of those things that is obviously true but not allowed to be said, "genetics," you know. Bad thought. But what a wonderful world (or better anyhow) if we could value people simply as human beings doing the best they can with whatever gifts they have instead of pretending everyone with enough hard work and right mind set can be A students and in the professional class. MLK admired the street cleaner who took pride in his clean streets. Oh, that we could be like that.

Mari, is your conclusion that the growth mindset is not correlated with success or that the growth mindset is ineffectively taught?
