Failure can teach as much as success. Rightly or wrongly I think of giving it a go as a NZ trait but I see that the current schooling system is breeding a mindset that if it looks like you may fail don't have a go. Because in some courses a student may get distinction in several parts of an evaluation, but if they get one "did not achieve" then the whole evaluation is DNA. So they don't have a try and the education system learns nothing about their ability and where they need to target teaching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869978246410912302.post-7847558167099295642010-02-17T12:52:49.635+13:002010-02-17T12:52:49.635+13:00ICT industry taskforce 2003: goal to build another...ICT industry taskforce 2003: goal to build another 100 technology-based companies with overseas revenues exceeding $100m per annum.<br />Regrettably, most people laughed at us at the time. The goal is still valid (increase the target revenue), and there's no unfixable reason to not achieve it.Jim Donovanhttp://jimdonovan.net.nznoreply@blogger.com
