Resource: Expose Talented Kids from Low-Income Families to Inventors and They're More Likely to Invent
Students in school are often asked to solve puzzles, answer questions, figure out connections by themselves. But many students when working alone find they do not immediately see the answers to problems or the connections between academic materials.
They begin to think of themselves as being not good at different learning or they think of themselves as a failure at learning a topic.
They adopt fixed mindsets "I can't do this . . . ." They become disengaged, discouraged, defeated and ashamed.
