You may wish to try this link to read the article:
http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2015/09/23/carol-dweck-revisits-the-growth-mindset.html While the article had several good points, I found some of the ideas to be more extreme than previously stated in
mindset and interviews.
For example, more moderate statements have included:
The growth mindset is the belief that abilities can be cultivated. But it doesn't tell you how much change is possible or how long change will take.
It turns out that some of the kids that struggle in math are just struggling temporarily.
Operative word:
some (not all), thereby acknowledging that children may exist who may continue to struggle with math.
Unfortunately, some posters are not addressing the OP's article but are rehashing strongly held viewpoints, discussed in previous threads such as
What would you ask Carol Dweck and
Against the growth mindset.
