Period 4

Too much of a good thing

After reading the article about too much self-esteem, Where do you think you fit in in terms of how you were praised growing up? Do you think you have high self-esteem because you were told you're awesome by teachers, parents or peers? Or because you do really well in all/most of your endeavors?

Then, discuss the true meaning of self-esteem. According to the article, it "is based on real accomplishments" and is built on 3 main things: self-efficacy, real competencies and skills. The article goes on to say that students, "who have high self-esteem may become rude and uncooperative when they're criticized," but is this really true? Please describe what is the false and true notions about self-esteem.

Lastly, describe what other factors other than self-esteem play a role in being a successful student?
