"Most high achievers were not that remarkable as children and didn't show clear talent before their training in earnest...only their continued motivation and commitment, along with their network of support, took them to the top".
Is it the continued motivation or the network that guides them to the top?

Serious question
So, as I read Chapter 2 and 3, it basically stated that we need to have higher expectations for our students and we will get more. Do we abolish prerequisites for social studies courses and have students interview with instructors if they desire to take an upper level course (ex: if a freshman wanted to take Topics of History-they would meet with Mr. Tigges or Mr. Troutman to request permission to be enroll)
How hard is it to change our mindset?
In our first discussion it seemed like we all had at least an element of fixed mindset. In chapter 2 Dweck contends you can change your mindset, but how likely is that given our respective ages? Doesn't psychology tell us that our personality is largely fixed by sometime in early adulthood?
