Why?

In her research, Dweck found that children who were taught what she calls a growth mindset could recover and fix their failing grades. On the other hand, students who were not taught this kept on failing. The results of this research are well commented on in Dweck’s TED talk video from minute 5:44 to 6:36. https://youtu.be/_X0mgOOSpLU
