Quote:never total to go back man. Confidence is a big factor and is dont think enough teachers instill that. Plus in a lot of places thy discourage critical thinking. It's all memorize and regurgitate which is bad.

There is no question confidence and anything, not just learning go hand in hand. Breeding confidence starts at a very young age, it starts in the home. If that is not fostered early it becomes harder to do down the line. Critical thinking is hampered by guidelines being set at the state and federal level. It's all about testing now, it is eliminating creativity and what teachers can do in the classroom anymore.
