I would like to start by asking a question about, making mistakes. If the common rule is don't be afraid of making mistakes then why do bother rating or giving a test score? I feel that this is contradicting our way of teaching. If we can alleviate the stress that comes with learning, we might be able to understand the innocent mind.
The innocence of the active imagination through the early years is the time when your courage is in its highest adequacy. In schools, "Now I know, that when I grew up It was always stressed that making mistakes on your test was going to make or break your possibility passing your grade." That was always a frightening thought.
How can schools provide a good learning experience? I say stop the fear. Teach us how to better ourselves in what we are comfortable in, allow us to learn with your guidance rather then the formalities that is expected of us. Teach us about life, about family stability, and how we us students can help the teachers to help us grow out of those fears that hold us back.
