It is worth while too to warn the teacher that undue severity in correcting faults is liable at times to discourage a boy's mind from effort.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think someone should explain to the child that it's OK to make mistakes. That's how we learn. When we compete, we make mistakes.
The task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility and evil with activity.
A little learning is not a dangerous thing to one who does not mistake it for a great deal.
Why not whip the teacher when the pupil misbehaves?
Though monetary compensation may never add up, teachers can rest assured that they are important.
As a kid, I often figured it was good to be patient to a fault.
I believe that the testing of the student's achievements in order to see if he meets some criterion held by the teacher, is directly contrary to the implications of therapy for significant learning.
Instruction does not prevent wasted time or mistakes; and mistakes themselves are often the best teachers of all.
It isn't making mistakes that's critical; it's correcting them and getting on with the principal task.
Just think of the tragedy of teaching children not to doubt.
