Growing up, I always thought of perfectionism as a good thing, as something to aspire to. However, more recently I am questioning this thought. It adds unnecessary pressure that it difficult to live up to and sustain. I see that many issues that my students are experiencing can be traced back to perfectionism. To incredibly high goals and standards that are impossible to achieve and that makes your work not being \u201cgood enough\u201d \u2013 when it actually is. The consequences of high perfectionism can be manifold and in today\u2019s digest, I\u2019d like to offer an overview of resources on perfectionism in education.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">From DSC:<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Somewhere along the lines, I heard that if an interviewer asks you to state a negative characteristic, choose something like perfectionism &#8212; to turn something that could be a negative into a positive.

The older I get, the more my empathy levels would rise if someone gave me that answer today. I&#8217;m a perfectionist and I can truly say that <em>perfectionism is a joy-robber!<\/em> It can <em>destroy<\/em> a good day. It can destroy a good mood. It can destroy joy.
