Practice makes perfect? How about perfect practice makes perfect? Or even, "practice makes permanent"? There are phrases that we use in our praise that limits our students and their potential, as these phrases indirectly reward characteristics we dislike (laziness). By having a better understanding of this phenomenon, we give our students reminders of their efforts and therefore a better chance of attaining success in their futures. Mr Eric Liu of Exclusive Tutoring San Diego presents #SmartANDLazy, a series dedicated to helping our students unlock their full potential in academics and in life! Eric@exclusivetutoringsd.com
