Today Smarties Jen P. and Cheryl are back talking to educator Mary Yorke Oates, Admissions Director at Charlotte Latin School, about the book “The Gift of Failure” by Jessica Lahey. This is the third in a series we’re doing with Mary Yorke on this awesome book. If you haven’t read it, we HIGHLY recommended it for parents with kids of all ages and stages. Today we’re talking college admission and the Gift of Second Choice. What do we mean by that? The Gift of Second choice is finding the positives in getting into your “second choice” school. College admissions are a beast – we all know that – but how do we work to change our kids’ – and our – points of view on the matter? How do we change a flawed system? We think we do it in baby steps, and this podcast is just one tiny baby step.
