The Power (and Peril) of Praising Your Kids — New York Magazine - there is a lot wrong with education in North America, and work like this can make a huge difference. In my opinion, we already know how to make education vastly better, we simply don’t employ those practices.

Now, I complain a lot about the school’s priorities but I won’t go into that whole rant here. But if I were the president my list would look rather different. It might include crazy things like “improve the quality of education,” “improve student life,” “decrease tuition”, and “improve student-university relations.” Feel free to post your own suggestions (yes, I’m talking to the 0-2 people who read this that attend UW).
