6. What ARE STUDENTS LIKE? They lead complex lives
Our assumptions of their motivations are often wrong
Quotes:
“critical and creative thinking only happen in the lived experience of everyday life, and you have to overcome all kinds of doubt and fear to actually think critically or creatively. ”
“Crafting a self is not something you do on an assembly line, it’s not something that happens quickly. It’s hard work, and it’s different for everybody.”
