Such an important question, Marcus. Agreed that we need to do more to support and discuss mistakes!

Love this question. To this day, still close with the veteran teacher who took me under her wing and checked on me every morning before school started. She’s long been retired, but I’ve tried to be that person for other teachers over the years!
