Do you think you were born with a fixed or a growth mindset? Why?
I think we are born with a growth mindset because nobody born knowing, we born with talents and as we go on in life we develop them, and I also believe that when we in the process of finding our identity we start developing our mindset some might grow a fixed mindset or some will continue with their growth mindset.

Quick Write: Be honest. Do you really think changing your mindset can change your grades for the better? Why or why not?
Yes I believe if I change my mindset my grades will be higher because I will love challenges more and will try to always do more and not wait for the last minute to do my classwork or homework.
the findings in the experiment are credible. The study was to find out if the mindset connects with grades. In order to find out which student's in the 7th grade had a growth or fixed mindset they were given a test. During the experiment the students with the growth mindset received higher grades while the students with a fixed mindset grades decreased. The study showed that having a growth mindset can improve your grades.

Quick Write: Fill in the blanks: It is my strong opinion that the best thing ever invented was the telephone. I say this because the people were able to communicate without having to see each other face to face. Another reason I believe this is because later on it became the best way for families to talk to each other instead of having to travel and not talk.

Quick Write
In your opinion should smart kids have their own classrooms or schools like Stuyvesant or Bronx Science? Why or why not?
Im a opponent of tracking because the labels the students are given early stay with them. all the students should learn the same and be treated equally.
Claim: students are not meeting the special schools criteria and are being kick out
counterclaim: Students should be able to attend to those schools with an environment full of kids that are smart

Quick Write (emphasis on Q U I C K): Based on your research and yesterday's debate, where do you now stand on selective schools for "smart" kids? Explain.
I am against the selective schools for smart kids, I believe the kids shouldn't be tested based on test and should not have that kind of labels as "Smart Kids" and "Not Smarts"
