Don’t Say They’re “Smart”!

Hey everybody!

Beth Fox heard this story last night as she was driving home and it really resonated with her and what we do here. I loved how the school stopped using the ā€œSā€ word (smart), b/c they felt it was limiting kids potential. They also taught the kids to take chances and to struggle, which ultimately let to great success!
