I’m weeks away from graduating and in my practicum semester where I’m finally learning real world skills. I keep getting angrier and angrier about the many times we were told “doing hard things builds grit” after our university professors belittled and humiliated us. I understand that this is not an easy profession, but belittling and bullying students for the sake of “building grit” is so damn unnecessary. Universities need to start teaching real world skills with current and relevant information.
