We are teaching kids to fail. We need to teach our kids to succeed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One important lesson is this: It is okay to try and fail at something, but it isn't okay to not try. Parents need to encourage their kids, and it all starts in the home.
We're failing our children with education, we're failing our environment.
The challenge as a parent is letting your kids fail in the right ways because that's where we do most of our learning.
As kids we're not taught how to deal with success; we're taught how to deal with failure. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. If at first you succeed, then what?
I would want to teach my children someday that they should strive to be successful.
Failure is success if we learn from it.
I am confident that the vast majority of teachers will work with us towards achieving that goal.
Teach success before teaching responsibility. Teach them to believe in themselves. Teach them to think, 'I'm not stupid'. No child wants to fail. Everyone wants to succeed.
No child wants to fail. Everyone wants to succeed.
We are working essentially to build a leadership force of folks who will, during their first two years of teaching, actually put their kids on a different trajectory - not just survive as a new teacher, but actually help close the achievement gap for their kids.
