Be More Like Waffle | Jennifer Butterfoss | TEDxSFUHS Youth

A partir de investigaciones de Challenge Success con estudiantes, Jennifer Butterfoss analiza cómo la presión por optimizar cada talento deja a muchos alumnos simplemente "haciendo la escuela", marcando casillas sin un compromiso real. Como vía de salida, presenta a su perro Waffle, que persigue lo que le gusta sin preocuparse por ser el mejor. La charla se ofreció en TEDxSFUHS Youth, un evento TEDx organizado de forma independiente.

• Investigaciones de Challenge Success sobre estudiantes que solo "hacen la escuela"
• La presión por optimizar cada talento
• Waffle, el perro, como ejemplo de perseguir lo que se ama

Drawing on Challenge Success’s research with students, Jennifer shows how the push to optimize every talent leaves most students just “doing school,” checking boxes without real engagement. Her guide out of that trap is her dog, Waffle, who chases what he loves with no concern for being the best.
