A short YouTube dialogue (uploaded by Hannah Hammond) arguing that natural learning requires making mistakes (e.g., babies learning to walk, children learning to ride bikes) and that traditional schooling often punishes errors, which fosters a fear of mistakes rather than learning from them. The clip is an informal conversational excerpt between two speakers emphasizing cultural/religious/educational factors that discourage trial-and-error learning.

Well, a baby cannot learn to walk unless a baby falls down. We can't ride a bicycle without falling off. But if a kid went to school to learn how to walk. A baby, they never walk because they'd punish it. Oh, you fell. Bad boy. Bad kid. Bad kid. We fall off your bike. Bad, bad, bad. And most school teachers are poor because.
They'Re afraid of making mistakes. Yeah, I'm not really.
Religious, but it.
Seems to me that God created us to learn by making mistakes. But our schools punish you for making mistakes.
