Spoon-fed Students Lack Resilience

The Daily Telegraph
Spoon-fed students lack resilience needed at Oxbridge.

Alan Percy, the clinical director of Oxford’s counselling service said that students often don’t grasp the full meaning of learning. “Learning is finding out something that you did not know and struggling with it. It’s almost as if, if they do not know something immediately they feel as though they are failing.”

Are you resilient? Are you an independent learner and do you have good inquiry skills?
This applies to all who want to be the best learners they can be, not just would be Oxbridge students.
