“…schools must go beyond

teaching students to be good at

solving problems, but help them

develop the instincts and ability to

be value-creators.”

“(We have to) encourage them to

bravely persist in pushing

boundaries ... Help them have the

courage, to try, fail, try again, fail

again, and eventually succeed,”

“Are students encouraged to

explore, give options, right or

wrong, and not feel too self-

conscious? Do they feel safe to

fail?”

“Do we encourage our students to

do all that so they can build up a

reservoir of disparate learning, and

innate curiosity of wanting to know

what is happening around them?”

30 December 2016

"Because it often requires us, whether

it be parents or teachers, to take a step

back and let our students learn to deal

with challenges and setbacks on their

own and not be too quick to intervene,

no matter how good our intentions may

be,"
