I would think the secret to success as far as we can help our children out is if we communicate honest expectation and as long as we're there for them.

I guess I'll put these on my grocery shopping list?
It's nice, and it's positive. It can't all apply to all successful people, right? There's people with zest and grit to spare that never got them anywhere much. I think the article said they were trying to find something more predictive of success than IQ. I think that a belief in the system, or a belief in the system of education, by the student creates the success they're trying to predict. Are they looking for a buy-in indicator? Or are they looking for what kind of community atmosphere they can create that will draw out more of a buy-in from each of the kids?
