Interesting to see how this idea of mindset has changed over my lifetime. At school you pathway was almost predetermined. If you left in year 9 or 10 you were going to become a tradie if you continued you were going to univesity. Classes were streamed and you were almost placed in a box. Today while some streaming occurs in subjects like mathematics and science everybody is encoutaged to find there own path. Our challenge is to ensure they are ensure we ameliate to the best of our abilities the blockers to our students achieveing the best thay can.
Thanks for sharing your insight here, Peter. Really interesting to think about how schooling and pathways have changed over time.
