October is over, and November is here. For men, No Shave November is here, and for school No Excuse November is here. The purpose for No Excuse November is to challenge students, parents, and teachers to crush all the excuses that prevent us from growing in our work and in our learning. For example the biggest excuses made by most people are "I don't have time" or "I can't do that". That's simply not true. We have the time if we make it, and we can do anything we commit our minds to.
Let's face it. Excuses do nothing more than allow us to remain in our current state. They keep us in our present state and serve as a barrier to finding our inner excellence. As parents and educators, we must challenge kids to stop making the following excuses when it comes to learning:
- I'm not a good reader.
- Math is not my thing.
- I can't write.
- I don't have time to study.
None of these excuses are true. Students can be good readers, excellent mathematicians, fantastic writers, and studious learners if we teach them to avoid the trap of making excuses. When excuses are no longer allowed, learning increases, students learn the value of hard work and perseverance, and No Excuse November will be a powerful tool that leads kids to success. I hope you will challenge your student to adopt the No Excuse November movement.
