More focus needs to come on the process of growth, because that has just as much value as the end or final product. And that leads me to the greatest question of all in all this, is there ever really a final product?

I don’t think so, unless you’re into being out of date.

THe analogy of the math teacher is brilliant. It has me thinking…in math, you usually get partial marks even if you don’t arrive at the right ‘end note’, as long as you show your work.
I wonder why we don’t do the same in humanities or english classes? Hmmm….very good stuff to ponder.
Perhaps with an essay, for example, having the proposal or outline being worth a substantial amount, as well as the bibliography the student is working with.
I have had this in university courses. TO be honest, I didn’t enjoy them. I found the way I thought was quite different than a formal ‘proposal’ as it was dictated in form.

I like this idea. I think it needs implementation.
We do need to acknowledge that the journey is just as important as the end destination.

Thanks for that.
