it is turning the educational culture into one that stresses individual perfection instead of one that stresses social improvement.
Raising educated/wealthy people who will have the power to do good or create change to only care about their own individual success. This just perpetuates the rich elite taking care of the rich elite. NLU EDU 210
Though educators are fond of saying you learn from failure, with today’s stakes, the best students know you cannot really afford to fail. You can’t even afford minor missteps. That is one of the lessons of 1 percent education: 1 percenters must always succeed.
We see the ideology more and more that mistakes are a good thing and that is how we learn. We also learn that they are not usually the end of the world. With this idea that failure will ruin your academic success and future career people are so afraid of failure they miss out on all the lessons it can teach you. Also, those who have failed and come out better for it aren't given the opportunity to prove it. NLU EDU 210
