And do more to promote mastery. So that means continued trying until you learn it. I don’t know why we have it set up with a “ah, that’s it, you snooze you lose” when real learning is not like that.What are we teaching students? “Well, you had your shot, ya blew it. That test was your chance to shine.” “You mean, I can’t repair it, or learn from it, or grow and get better?” “Nuh uh, you got to be PERFECT on your first try or it’s curtains!” “Well fuck it. I’m out. Yeah, that’s right, I’m not supporting this system. You make it hard for me, eh, I don’t feel so inclined to make it easy for you. Fuck it. Let me go play Fortnite and smoke some weed. I can’t advance and get better, SO WHAT GOOD IS IT? This isn’t about me, this is about some system cultivating the next crop of minds to use for their own production purposes. Fuck that shit.”
