During the week of May 26, 2019 there are two kinds of grit – one good and one bad – dominating the news. The bad is the traffic jam at the summit of Mt. Everest where stupid grit and faux grit are killing people. And then there is good grit, or authentic grit, which is showcased every year in the National Spelling Bee here in Washington, D.C. Listen to Caroline Miller share what her research for “Getting Grit” discovered about good and bad grit and what we can learn from these examples in the news.
