Last week I wrote about my daughter’s violin lessons and how she doesn’t like having to put forth effort in order to progress.
She’s happy to practice the few things she knows, but the moment there’s a whiff of effort required…
I don’t think she’s alone. My wife’s a teacher and she sees in her students the same avoidance of effort.
“That’s extra!” they’ll complain. About anything.
“Doin’ too much!” is another common refrain.
Today she said, “We don’t ask kids to do hard things any more.”
