MindShift KQED has an informative article about girls getting the message that they are either good at math or not. I know I believe I’m not great at math. Because of this belief, I never pushed myself to become better at math. My daughter sent me this article link and said, “I’m glad I’m good at math.” Â We need to teach girls to persist through difficulties.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much room for failure, then learning from this failure in our educational system . I invite you to read this article and let me know what you think.
