Why do teachers need to accept mistakes that result from children attempting activities independently, and how do you handle a situation when a student damages something or makes a mistake that requires correction?
a) To encourage creativity and problem-solving skills; address the mistake calmly and use it as a learning opportunity.
b) To discourage independence; reprimand the student and emphasize the importance of following instructions.
c) To maintain control in the classroom; punish the student and require them to fix the mistake immediately.
d) To avoid responsibility; ignore the mistake and continue with the lesson.
