- Often we fail children when they don't do well in a class. But conceptually that makes no sense if a child failed to understand something the first time why make them try it again. Wouldn't it be much better to fail the methods we used rather than the children. - In this way we can also preserve [[Learner Self Image]] --- "When something they were doing in the class did not work, they stopped doing it, and tried to do something else. They flunked unsuccessful methods, not the children" - John Holt in [[How Children Fail]]
