An intelligent teacher will understand that choosing certain works of a child over others is rife with subjectivity, the teacher's own bias and the current bias of the culture. There are only three options: Indifference, Negative rejection, and positive praise. They'll cheerfully endure one unsuccessful attempt after another because there is no overlay of any one elses's disapproval of their "failures." When we watch kids playing on their own, they'll show incredible persistence trying to get something to happen, all while experiencing "failure" after "failure." I've watched kids try to make boats that float, or to push a swing so high it will wrap around the top bar of the structure.

I think the primary message has to be "You can do this. We all know people who say they were told at an early age that they lacked ability in one area or another and forever after abandoned something that might have nourished them. The author's favorite word in this regard is "rigor." It is in short supply in American schools. The author covers a lot of territory (literally and figuratively) but one clear theme is that unlike students in Finland, Poland, and South Korea, American students are largely shielded from failure. I just read a book, The Smartest Kids in the World (and How They Got That Way).
