Learning to Not Try Hard
from (Re)Teach · host Bruce Hoskins, PhD
I revisit the trauma I endured in 3rd grade that socialized me to not try hard at school. I remind listeners that historically-marginalized groups have these experiences socially, economically and institutionally reinforced throughout our lives making them harder to overcome. I end by stating that we need to reteach ourselves how to see the potential in all students, especially the historically-marginalized, in order to close equity gaps.
