I also love the fact that they have a blog called "Cognitive Daily" that is quoted in that article.
One of the things that I am supposed to learn as a coach is to not give praise, particularly generalized praise at all. or if I do praise, I'm supposed to praise effort. I mostly disagree with this, and have been working on saying things like, "I love that lesson idea because it sounds like it will be engaging to most of your students and offers kids at multiple levels a chance at success." It's just more effort to say that than, "Good idea!"

Man, I wish we had Taco Bell here.
What you really need there is Chipotle.

Saw that on the news this morning.
Haven't read further, but from the broadcast, what struck me about how they came up with their results was that they didn't focus on trying to evaluate some nebulous "self-esteem" but showed that the kids in the US (as opposed to Korea) were actually rating themselves as "excellent" at things like math where they clearly weren't.

It says you can dress as a burrito OR a taco, or a salad, or a burrito bowl.
And I would have typed all that, too, only I was too busy drinking my precious bean juice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am so not letting pepper near my nostrils. Having tried to cauterise one with vinegar already, I'm all nasal condimented up, thanks.

ita the only thing that has worked reliably for you is drinking the night before, and whatever it is they give you in ER? Does morphine not work?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Or we could just wait for them to get to college to find out they're not....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am reminded of the Toothpaste for Dinner guy doing experiments with a Neti Pot. Pretty funny when he moves past water...

It seems like that could measure expectation more than "self-esteem". If a kid does great on every math test, then there isn't any reason he or she shouldn't rate themselves excellent. A problem I'm seeing with our kid's school is that getting poorer preforming students to score well enough on tests is much more important that challenging better performing students. I can't really blame the school that much, that's how the game is rigged.
