I get how some of these “non-cognitive” factors are seen as a means to lift up disadvantaged students. But I wonder if focusing on them misses the bigger, badder, more daunting problem.

I don’t know the perfect answer to this. But interested in learning more! How valuable are ideas like growth mindset, grit, delaying gratification, and character in boosting achievement? And how might they be distracting from tougher truths in education?

A really interesting project to look out for in this space is from Greg Duncan at UCI.

Great article! Re: the link between a family’s socio-economic position and educational attainment of their children. I guess that assimilating the value of education and the belief that educational ambition is not futile occurs over multiple generations.
