Failure is an inevitable part of life, but it's often accompanied by shame -- most people do everything in their power to avoid it. But to paraphrase educational philosopher John Dewey, a true thinker learns as much from failures as from successes. What if educators worked to take some of the sting (and the stigma) out of failing, and encouraged reflection and revision to build upon the lessons learned?

Sometimes we learn more through trial and error than from getting it right the first time. I think we need to provide more opportunities to allow students to experiment without penalty for failure.
