A childlearning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if the childis corrected too much,he will stop talking.He notices a thousand times a daythe difference between the language he uses and the language those around himuse.Bit by bit,he makes the necessary changes to make his language like otherpeople’s,in the same way,children learn to do all the other thingswithout being taught—to walk,run,climb,whistle,ride a bicycle.
But in schoolwe never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them forhimself.We do it all for him.We act as if we thought that he would nevernotice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him.Let him work out,with thehelp of other children if he wants it,what his word says,what the answer isto that problem,whether this is a good way of saying or doing this.If it is amatter of right answers,as it may be in mathematics,give him the answer book.Let him correct his own papers.Why should we teachers waste time on such routinework?Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the wayto get the right answer.
Let thechildren learn how to measure their own understanding,and how to know whatthey do not know.In short,no matter what happens,first give the child achance to find out for himself.
