Quote by Roddy Doyle

Schools don't really allow failure and yet it's a valid part of any endeavour, not just writing.

Schools don't really allow failure and yet it's a valid part

Summary

This quote highlights the common tendency in schools to discourage or avoid failure, whereas failure is an essential aspect of learning and growth in any field, including writing. Schools often prioritize getting the correct answers and following a predetermined curriculum, leaving little room for experimentation or taking risks. However, failure is intrinsic to the human experience, as it teaches us valuable lessons, fosters resilience, and encourages creative problem-solving. Embracing and learning from failure is crucial for students' overall development and prepares them for real-world challenges.
