In job interviews and college admissions, we focus too much on what candidates have accomplished, and too little on what obstacles they've overcome.
The true measure of people's potential is not the height of the peak they've reached. It’s how far they've climbed to get there.

I was a teacher for 30 years, and the mantra was, "If you want to get into a competitive college, you better not make mistakes."
I promote a values-centered and curiosity-driven education that focuses on solving problems, not avoiding errors.
