I think the bit about how it's not clear if 'dispositions' such as grit can be taught was interesting. I did an online course that talked about teaching students grit and put an emphasis on telling students when the showed grit and putting the word into their vocab and mindset. To me it seems a lot like trying to teach someone to be happy you can tell them what it's like and point out when it's happening and train people to say they're happy but you really can't teach them to be happy. It's not a perfect analogy but I think that grit is something that can be encouraged through actions but usually is learned transparently.
