Video: Forget Math & Reading; Let's Teach "Grit" Instead

No, schools can't do both well at the same time. Or at least few have demonstrated the ability. But what do I know and who cares?  There's only so many months and years you can talk about math and reading, anyway.

Click on play and the afternoon will be gone before you know it.  Or Fora will ask you for dough at the ten minute mark.  From #aspensideas and @educationnation, via @larryferlazzo.

I tried to watch the whole video, and what I saw of it was great, but the advertisements got a little intrusive for my tastes. At one point, two things tried to pop up on the video screen at once, which seemed to crash the thing. It’s unfortunate we live in a day and age where money is attached so desperately to genuinely educational services, but I’m well aware it’s the unfortunate reality.
