“For those of you that are unaware, failure is an option. If you really want to be that school district that removes failure from the equation,
then you as a district are failing your students. Students need to understand that failure is part of life—it happens. And whether you like it or not, they will have a much more difficult time when they get out of school succeeding
because you as a school have never let them
experience failure, nor have you given them the opportunity to know what it means to
learn from that which they did not the first
time understand.”
― No Diploma Left Behind
