Multiple-choice question how does dr. dweck interpret the practice adapted by a chicago high school of awarding "not yet" grades instead of fs? it coddles the students by using a euphemism to artificially protect them from the reality that they have failed. it promotes efficacy by implying that the student is on the path toward achieving a passing grade in the future. it potentially damages students' self-esteem by focusing on what they haven't accomplished instead of what they have. it guarantees that the student will be successful in the subject at hand in the future.

The correct choice is "it promotes efficacy by implying that the student is on the path toward achieving a passing grade in the future".

In her TED talk, “The Power of Believing You Can Improve”, Carol Dweck clarifies the force of "Not Yet". Understudies need to pass a specific number of classes to graduate, and in the event that they don't pass, they get an alternate sort of review: "Not Yet” instead of “fail”.
