<p>While I think kwu’s example is a bit extreme and crazy, I think the overall point is this:</p>
<p>We need to create spaces where students can fail and succeed. Success means nothing if we make it impossible for you to make mistakes, however, we don’t have to let those mistakes become so burdensome that you are unwilling to take risks and move away from your comfort zone. Having the right balance between giving students responsibility to fail or succeed and providing students with the resources to be successful is important.</p>
