A Great Way of Looking at Failure

Why can't students (and teachers) look at grades this way?

What if the habit of each semester's grade was for each student to put their worst learning experiences forward and to identify every item they struggled with and what they learned? What if students took responsibility for their own learning gaps as a way to excel and close learning gaps through self-motivated disclosure, study, and dialog?

That, in fact, is what I learned to do in college in order to thrive.  That lesson wasn't learned easily.  But it made all the difference.
