In this video a middle school teacher, Angel Duckworth talks about teaching, where teaching is very demanding in almost every area in our society. I believed this is very true and how most students can be smart in her class in most part of her teaching career as a math teacher. But what I found out from this video that most of the smartest students don't have a great IQ score and how these students are not performing the way they are suppose to. In our findings she said we need to find ways how we could motivate our students more and how to make them better in school and in life. Then the students we are surprise to see that don't perform well can also learn from their mistakes through many different motivation process. Then many students would stay through out their education career and how long would it take them to do that. This is very intriguing to me because I had never thought of something like this and how it reflects me as a NYIT student. The thought of knowing which people would stay the most doing their jobs, working under the most worse areas, how these kind of people would change the students there, and for how long many of these people will stay in many of their occupations. I had never thought someone in a video would ask these questions which people are the most successful? Is it the people who stay throughout their company who they work for and who stay through out their high school and college career upon graduation. Are they the most successful and is it the key to many people success in the society we live in?
