School Systems Embracing Goal Setting

I read an interesting article yesterday...

The headline was...

"Making Kids Work on Goals (And Not Just in Soccer)"

Some excerpts...

"A student's ability to set and achieve realistic goals is linked to higher grades, lower college dropout rates and greater well-being in adulthood."

"Yet a majority of grade school students lack faith in theirability to reach their goals, according to a survey of 642 students by Gallup"

"Sadly, only about 42% of kids ages 10 to 18 are pursuing goals!"

Bullying Statistics

One of every four children report being bullied each year.

Close to 10% of all children report being bullied on a weekly basis.

As many as 160,000 students may stay home from school on any given day because they are afraid of bullies and/or they just can't take the pain anymore.

Statistics show 60% of those characterized as "bullies" in grades 6-9 had at least one criminal conviction by age 24.

 

The Man In The Arena

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt
