Children and Education

EconTalk with Russ Roberts had a wonderful interview with Paul Tough (@PaulTough) on his ideas about Education, Children and Success.  His book is How Children Succeed.

Some of the heros of the book include:

Angela Duckwort - Grit

Geoffrey Canada - Harlem Children's Zones

Elizabeth Spiegel - Chess

William Julius Wilson - Bad Neighborhoods

Terms: Curiosity, Conscientiousness, Grit and Self-confidence
