When writing my Academic mindset assignment, I found it interesting at the fact that I struggled to choose who I agreed with more. Both Dweck and Kohn had very valid points when it came to student success. I agree with Dweck on the fact that intelligence always has room to grow. Overall I chose Kohn because he really explains in great detail how the system is failing! Kids tend to struggle and get cramed with school work and expected to immediately know what to do. For some students, it could be very easy to learn that way, but unfortunately for others it is not so easy. I chose to write this assignment by myself. I feel that I accomplish more and work better when I'm focused and on my own. I am proud of my assignment and I feel like I made a pretty good argument. Being a former child who struggled with tests and homework, I really felt a personal connection to what Kohn had to
say. He made it very clear that he was not choosing a mindset but he was telling readers that effort needs to be a major role in how students will succeed. When choosing my argument, one thought in mind was how and why did I struggle in school and how was I raised? My parents always taught me right and wrong and always had time to teach me new things. When I would play sports and I made a play, my mom and dad would always tell me great job or way to go, but my dad would always tell me ways I could do
better. Now, as I am an adult in college, I have realized that by reading these articles that I have grown up in a growth mindset. If you put effort into what you do and you have determination for what you believe in, you will succeed. Whether you win or lose, you will succeed by putting effort into what you do.
