Why we struggle in our public schools…
I am reading a very inspirational book by Malcolm Gladwell called "Outliers".
Gladwell's interview sounds like a conversation that I have had with many people about being a creative artist…
"We sometimes think of being good at mathematics as an innate ability. YOu either have 'it' or you don't. But to Schoenfeld, it's not so much ability as ATTITUDE."
Gladwell quotes this math professor, Alan Schoenfeld, from Berkeley, "Success is a function of persistence and doggedness and the willingness to work hard for twenty-two minutes to make sense of something that most people would give up on after thirty seconds."
