In traditional schools, you're penalized for making a mistake. But that won't work in the new information culture, in the digital world we live in today.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Schools don't really allow failure and yet it's a valid part of any endeavour, not just writing.
I noticed that when it came time to improvise, my students would often make mistakes.
Kids are falling through the cracks and nobody notices it. That to me is what's wrong with the school system.
In school, we learn that mistakes translate into bad grades. This unfortunate lesson gets burned into our brains, and we go through life shunning challenges that might end in failure.
It's okay to make mistakes. Mistakes are our teachers - they help us to learn.
Schools are really bad now. Schools are not only bad in reading, writing and arithmetic, they're worse in cultural aspects, like in music and art. They don't teach you anything.
I think there's so much negative influence on children in school settings. It becomes learning by rote to pass a test. It's not contextualized.
If we're going to have standards in schools, let's be honest and have standards.
Instruction does not prevent wasted time or mistakes; and mistakes themselves are often the best teachers of all.
One of the great things about education is that it should stop you making mistakes - and I have made a lot of mistakes.
