Most reviews only show the shiny side. Let me show you the human one.

It was week 7. My daughter had to present a debate. The topic: “Should kids have mobile phones?” She prepared, practiced, but when it came time to present — she blanked out.

The screen went silent. The teacher said, "It’s okay, take your time."

Still nothing. Then, a few tears rolled down her cheek.

I was watching from the side. My heart broke. I expected the teacher to end the session.

But instead, she said, “Let’s play a game. You’re a phone. I’ll be a parent.”

My daughter giggled.

They role-played the debate, slowly moving into structure. She never had to "recover" — because she never "failed." The teacher turned it into a lesson about resilience, not embarrassment.

What I Learned:

• Confidence isn’t the absence of fear. It’s what happens after fear.
   

• Great teachers don’t let failure define a moment. They rewrite it.
   

That was the most powerful class of all. It taught my daughter (and me) that communication is not just about speaking. It's about trying again.
