    However, too many students are so self-focused that they cannot unlearn their selfish behaviors for the sake of finding the best-suited solution that can be achieved through collaborative thinking. In addition to Davidson, Jean Twenge also notices this pattern and she labels it as “narcissism”. As Twenge explains, “Because the school programs emphasize being ‘special’ rather than encouraging friendships, we may be training an army of little narcissists instead of raising kids’ self-esteem” (Twenge 504). Twenge obviously believes that school programs are trying too hard to preserve a child’s self-esteem instead of actually helping them to build skills that would help them. Twenge mentions that instead of making them feel “special”, schools should focus more on “encouraging friendships” so that they can be a little less narcissistic and self-focused.

    “Oh wow, what a smart child!” This is a statement that deceivingly seems inconsequential on the surface. However, once one digs below the surface, as Carol S. Dweck did in “Brainology: Transforming Students’ Motivation to Learn,” one can see that having a certain mindset can be a determining factor of whether or not a child will be able to become successful. Dweck believes that a praise (similar to the type mentioned before) cause students to have a certain mindset on the way smartness functions, consequently affecting their work ethic. TO elaborate, she claims they either have one of two mindsets; a growth mindset, which is when a student believes they obtain knowledge by working hard; or a fixed mindset which is when a student believes everyone has a set level of smartness they have to live up to.
