I would like to teach Goal Setting to High School Kids?

goal setting
Mandy A asked:

I am interested in teaching Goal-setting to high school kids, following the outline of:
1) Write down your top 100 goals
2) Pick the ten most important ones and re-write them daily
3) Break each of those goals down into tasks with deadlines
4) Track your progress and take a step towards each goal every day

What do you all think? I believe if we could get kids to do this before they complete high school, we could see some amazing results.
They have done studies with college kids, and discovered that of 17% who had goals, only 3% had them written down. Of the 17%, the ones who had not written them down earned 3 times what everyone else did, and the ones who had written them down earned 10 times the average.

What are your thoughts on this?

Do you actually THINK that High School Students would do this? They will LAUGH YOU OUT of the AUDITORIUM (at Best), and at worst — you will be hassled, harassed, have things thrown at you, be assaulted in the parking lot, and just stomped on.

Then for a VERY VERY FEW — Goals are already something they think about and have acted on. But for the most part, they have the personal traits and responsibility to set goals for themselves and WANT to work for them
