Yes, I have read the quote you mentioned. There are two of Churchill's quotes that tie into grit.<br />1.“Success is not final...Failure is not fatal...it's the courage to continue that counts” as you mentioned, and<br />2. “Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm”<br />Thank you for taking the time to comment, and I am honored to have you as a reader.

Many parents want to shield their children from any sort of negativity, especially academic failure. Students do need occasional brushes with failure in order to develop the coping skills needed for dealing with the vicissitudes of life. The great statesman, Winston Churchill, failed sixth grade and as a student, was always at the bottom of his class. His own father told him he was mentally disabled. The great Prime Minister has a famous quote about success not being final and failure not being fatal. Thank you for expanding on this very important topic which could indeed determine how well a student learns to cope, not only in school, but throughout their life.

I will check and see if I can figure it out. So far, each week brings a new adventure!

Like you said Cathe, it doesn't come natural for them. We have to teach them about stamina, hanging in there, not giving up. Can't wait to read next week's column!
