With increased birthdays, comes wisdom. The kind of wisdom that says - students need to make mistakes - just as did our own children, and just as we all did in our own youth.
Much of what we learn, we learn by ourselves. We learn so much about ourselves and we improve by making our own mistakes.
As a young teacher I made many mistakes (some even when my superiors were observing me teach) and now, as a teacher with over 40 years experience, I still make many mistakes. Long may that happen.
Because, it is an absolute necessity. As a teacher, I have to have that space to experiment, fail, and learn.
