What if... Falling-as-Learning?

---

What if kids experienced school as “pro-falling”? (falling not failing)

Consider Google X, the moonshot factory for Google, which incentivizes teams to kill projects as soon as they learn that they have no chance for success.

Why?

Head of Google X Astro Teller puts it this way: "I’m not pro-failure. I’m pro-learning.”

Failing is failing.

But falling is learning.

Each Wednesday we share a “what if” scenario. Consider it a provocation rather than a suggestion.
