30: Grades Are Not Important

What this episode covers

Often times students set goals for themselves, but lose sight of how how to attain those goals. In this episode of The Monarch Experience, we break down how grades are no different than goals, and how they should not be the only thing students focus on. Join Mason, Tarun, and Danielle as they talk with Mr. Ancona about how students, parents, teachers, and schools spend too much time focusing on the grades rather than the learning.  Mr. Ancona shares some personal stories of how he began to shift his focus onto learning skills, rather than using the grades as a way to talk with students and parents. Also, Danielle, Tarun, and Mason share their experiences with this shift in their mindset and how it has ultimately helped them set stronger goals, be more engaged in the learning process, and even receive higher grades along the way.  Follow on Twitter @TheMonarchXP Follow on Snap Chat @The Monarch Experience Podcast
