Failure is a step in the process to success, To Really Learn, Fail-Then Fail Again! by Susan Moran, shows kids that there are many different ways to succeed through failure, New Math: Fail + Try Again = Real Learning by Susan Moran, shows people that

Through student-centered learning, students are faced with challenging questions, as the students attempt to solve them, they start to accept failure. This shows that everyone will fail at some point, but you need to try again, Samuel Becket said, “’Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again.

Failure leads to understanding and
