Previous Post Stolen from arcana_j. I can't find anything in this speech that I disagree with.

"Kids aren't afraid of being wrong."

I have ten plus years of teaching experience telling me what utter garbage that is. Kids are terrified of being wrong in school. They don't want to look foolish, they don't want to waste their time working on something and finding out their efforts were for nothing. They like being told the answer, or at the very least have their hand held and constantly assured that what they are doing is right as they look for it.
