Is school the best place to make mistakes?

Without mistakes, you won’t succeed.

Mistakes help you get better at stuff, Mistakes won’t hurt as much as they hurt in real life, You can bounce back and learn from your mistakes, It is good to make mistakes, It is normal to make mistakes.

School is a time for teenagers to transition from childhood to adulthood, and mistakes will help them get there.

For instance, by making a mistake it is actually good in a way because it teaches you what not to do next time. It is not normal if you don’t make mistakes, Because everyone makes mistakes.

School needs to be a place that doesn't just teach the right answers; it should also be a place that teaches kids how to bounce back from failure. If they make mistakes, those mistakes won't hurt them as they would in real life. So If you make a mistake it is ok, because you can learn from it and mistakes help you succeed. 

Not only do mistakes help you learn, but they will also prepare you for your adulthood. By making mistakes you will know what is right and wrong, and you will make sure you won’t make that mistake again.

This shows that mistakes are just part of life and that everyone makes mistakes in life whether it be a small or big mistake.

But making too many mistakes at school can be bad because you could fail. 

By making too many mistakes at school or anywhere can lead to you failing or even worse like getting injured or even killed. For example, if you work at a construction site you could make a mistake and get injured. 

If you are struggling with something and you make a mistake you might not learn from these mistakes and fail.
