This allowed them to take academic risks, make mistakes, and truly engage in the learning process.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the fresh stack of paper, they were genuinely excited and relieved. Many of them immediately asked if they could \"start over\" or \"try again,\" which showed how important access to basic materials is for building confidence.
