I read somewhere that „the student’s mistake is an instrument in the educator’s hand!” This is because mistakes are a natural part of the learning process. We need to make mistakes in order to learn!
Unfortunately, success and performance are notions that define the Romanian educational climate. The strange thing is that we cannot achieve all this without mistakes. I think that mistakes are the most valuable elements of an activity, because they can give the teacher clues on how to guide the debated practice. But in most cases, the mistakes are
evaluated as poor results, reducing to a judgment of finding, without appreciating our formative value, “encouraging” us formally, but also informally, not to make mistakes.
Why doesn’t anyone view our mistake as a valuable asset? Probably because we humans embody reality, so we end up turning the mistake into an enemy instead of a friend.
Mistakes lead to discomfort and irritation. All teachers teach us that they are undesirable and should be avoided; thus, unfortunately, renunciation arises, avoidance, being the natural response of all beings who err.
According to the dictionary, the mistake is an „unintentional act” – so making a mistake is human!

We perpetuate aggression in direct proportion to the useless study of useless subjects, because they are not learned or assimilated – they are just patterns. The important thing is to have a diploma, a college that will open the door to a well-paid job, not a job that will fulfill you.
I am disarmed by the desire to punish the mistake or to use it as a form of justification for violent actions. The road is not easy, especially since we learn by mistake. Conversely, if mistakes became learning opportunities, everything would change: we would have a committed attitude that would attract learning, we would take more risks, and we would discover new perspectives.
At the same time, shame is attached by mistake, and students are afraid to take advantage of the opportunities that are offered to them. When we make mistakes, we are humiliated, punished, labeled, „How dare you make a mistake?”, „You are naughty, stinky, rebellious!” When you know, you’re not wrong. When you don’t know, you learn, I think so.
Then we grow up and live our lives and end up labeling, arguing with the people around us, just as we were labeled and scolded. What is not understood in this vicious circle? We grow up and learn to be images of our own perception of people.
Maybe many of you will feel offended by my opinion… It’s OK! You don’t have to accept or understand it! Feed on the illusion that all will be well in a society where the majority is not. It all depends on us, how we promote and normalize the culture that respects the mistake. What is certain is that man, as long as he lives, learns. And one surefire way to learn is to make mistakes
