Student mental health was already an issue before the pandemic. And then students felt the strain on all fronts as studies went online and they lost jobs and social contacts.

Why Failure and Success are Brothers from Different Mothers?

Why Failure and Success are Brothers from Different Mothers? | ED 262 KCKCC Sp '24 | Scoop.it

Failure or Success- A perspective… 

When a coin is tossed, there’s a 50% chance it will land upon the side you bet. Similar is our outcome in different chores we perform in our life. One major difference that differentiates our life with tossing of the coin is that we put in a lot of devotion and hard work in our efforts.

But similar to the tossing of a coin, those chores may result in either success or failure. Sometimes even after extreme hard work and perseverance, the outcome is a failure, leaving us shattered.

What happens when failure is the outcome? 

 Failure is the outcome of mere bad luck or a minor fault which we don’t realize while enduring. We regret about failures when all our efforts go in vain and nothing fruitful comes out. We get disheartened, thinking we will never succeed and then delve into the domain of negative thoughts.

Students failing in competitive exams, people facing rejections while seeking employment; Life has become a battlefield where success is adjourned as the winner, while failure is looked with pity, remorse, and guilt. This outlook needs tweaking.

How to Thrive in the 21st Century - Harvard Graduate School of Education

How to Thrive in the 21st Century - Harvard Graduate School of Education | ED 262 KCKCC Sp '24 | Scoop.it
From www.gse.harvard.edu - June 26, 2017 11:59 AM

"As Chung suggests, the 21st-century global citizen’s cognitive skill set includes traditional, testable basics such as math and literacy, but extends beyond that to encompass a particularly strong emphasis on the world in which we live. “Current events highlight some of the fears around otherness,” she says. The key to informed citizenship is getting to know other cultures — and valuing them.

In addition to rounding out kids’ knowledge base to include a nuanced understanding of world geography and cultures, schools must teach them the skills to use this knowledge as active and engaged citizens.”

Why Professors Should Give a Damn

Why Professors Should Give a Damn | ED 262 KCKCC Sp '24 | Scoop.it
From chronicle.com - January 8, 2019 1:50 AM

On social media, I’ve seen an uptick in professors’ complaints about their students. Recently, I read a thread on a social-media site that minimized a student’s struggles because she had asked for an extension on a deadline. Faculty members castigated her and welcomed her to “the real world.” One suggested how to avoid dealing with her. Are we serious? If we don’t understand students’ real-world dilemmas, what are we doing teaching?
