The simple statement “learning involves failure” caught my attention the most in this chapter. I think that statement should be explained and discussed with students on day one of the school year. Help them realize that they are going to struggle along the way, and so may their teacher, but to always stay confident and try their hardest, and they should succeed. I feel it’s extremely important for students to hear that statement because it may change their mentality if they enter a class thinking they’ll breeze through it with an “easy A”. When the time comes that they begin to struggle, they’ll relate back to the statement and recognize that they will overcome this and gain something from it.
