Say Yes To No

Congratulations to teacher Jeff Kuehn and the students from New Prague Middle School!

Jeff started a Say Yes to No blog giving students, teachers and parents a place to weigh in and share their views on important No questions. In the latest student blog, 110 students commented on questions about self-esteem and happiness. A majority of students commented that self-esteem is “How I feel about myself.”  Many other students talked about the praise and feedback they got from parents and friends. Other kids talked about feeling proud of their abilities and skills. These kids know what the real thing is.

Middle school is a time of change and challenge: Real vs. empty praise, competency vs. feel good exercises, doing vs. just finishing. The question for us is how can we help kids develop real self esteem? 

Share your ideas.
