Show Notes
University systems often penalize students for failing, despite the common advice that failure is a crucial part of learning and growth. This mixed message leaves many students, particularly those from diverse backgrounds, confused about how to handle setbacks. Research shows that students with strong high school records are more likely to drop out after their first low mark, and financial aid can disappear after a tough term. Many first-year students lack skills like time management and critical thinking, leading them to believe poor grades mean theyre not smart. Universities can help by using low-risk tests early on, letting students redo work, and creating safe spaces for trial and error.
