Children learn most through mistakes.

We care for the children's physical and mental well being. There is no harm in early failures whether in projects, lessons, speech or actions; in fact children learn most through failures than all passes all the time. We encourage learning through mistakes and take take risk in their answers either orally or in written form. If a child has given out wrong answers or commits actions or speech not to the liking of adults or his peers, most often he may not know the reason for their dislikes. Take for example, if a question is asked, "How do we breathe"? A child may think that 'nose' will be a too easy answer and shouts out, "mouth". While the teacher and other students may think that the child is trying to be funny, insinuate and laugh at him. Such action certainly kills creativity, leaving the poor child lonely and separated. Many parents and teachers 'judge' their children by their academic achievements and if a child performs well, he will be their 'blue eyed' boy and if not, maybe some scolding will 'change' him.Most often such caning or scolding are done out of frustrations, partly due to the adults own problems.
