Punishing Success


One of my favorite students of all time told me recently that his college housing aid was cut because of a scholarship that he won. His mom is doing everything in her power to get the aid re-instated. I hope that she is successful. I've never understood the institutional practice of punishing success. People who work hard, do well, and otherwise positively impact the world deserve the benefits that their success brings.
