The Sweet Fruit of Hardship

Can education be easy and fun? Are stress-free schools and effortless teaching conceivable? It’s not that simple. The human brain likes hardship, even if it pushes back against it.

Without mistakes, there would be no evolution or diversity. We would either be at a standstill, or completely extinct.
