Snippets:
- For a long time, there's been a perception that failure damages people.
- In turn the failure, and making mistakes, is a really crucial part of learning.
- One of the big issues is that students are reluctant to display their learning or their knowledge or their curiosity for fear of not being right.
- We have bred a generation where it's not OK to get critical feedback. It's not OK to tell someone that they haven't reached a certain standard.
- Melbourne school is embracing failure. The Ivanhoe Girls' Grammar School teachers will be projected onto screens in every classroom as the school kicks off Failure Week.
