    "Another hallmark of high-utility enrichment classes is that teachers insist that the failure-averse yet scholastically able child not just strive for A's but also take greater academic chances, albeit with adequate emotional support for such risks."

    "Children who can integrate information will be best prepared to be lifelong learners with flexible minds. This sort of flexibility depends, in part, on children not tying learning to obligation-rather, learning how to learn with a certain lightness and adaptability."
