>>16470833>not enough people believe in a growth mindsetRight. And it's pretty hard to get them to believe in it, if it's too late. After a certain point of somebody being bought into a certain mindset, one where they don't think they can really grow even if they tried, then no matter how much you tell them that they can, they'll brush it away as a fat chance. Maybe some exceptions, but that's how it goes for most.
I think that pretty much any school environment which takes itself seriously gives advice about this, that you can definitely have some growth if you simply put in the effort, but it just ends up as too little too late in most cases.
Because unfortunately, they tend to start saying things like this once the students enter high school and their minds are already set on how they see themselves. That is at a point where the people who already have a growth mindset won't benefit much, and the ones who don't will likely not adjust themselves for it.
Even if it's true in being told, saying that you can have growth if you just put your mind into it comes off as cheesy and uppity to anybody if they went throughout their whole life developing the mindset that they can't, and that obviously ends up in them ignoring the advice, figuring that they know themselves better.
It just needs to be taught way sooner before anything like "I'm not capable of this" sets into anyone's mind, while there's still enough room left to make impression. I've never seen any effort to do that, ever.
But take it with a grain of salt, that's just from my experience with the education system here and what I've gathered from reading random stuff. Haven't researched into it in-depth at all, so, maybe they actually do attempt it in some places and it falls flat still. But I would be surprised if they do.
