Academic Demands

Qualities you will never be tested on:

Sense of Wonder
Creativity
Critical Thinking
Resilience
Motivation
Persistence
Sense of Wonder
Curiosity
Question Asking
Sense of Humor
Endurance
Reliability
Enthusiasm
Self-Awareness
Truthfulness
Empathy
Leadership
Courage
Compassion
Sense of Beauty
Resourcefulness
Stick-to-it-tiveness
Humility
Spontaneity


All of the above, however, can be taught through example. They are all exceedingly difficult to explain, examine at length, master, and have some consistency. Once you hold your Self to the test of enriching your life with one, living it fully, as though “Truthfulness” matters, for example, it is much easier to recall and emulate again, and again. Why not put them in your curriculum for this year. The planet could use a lot more eloquence with “Question Asking.” What do you think?
