Umm, no. I'm in an engineering discipline and an industry where if (when) people make mistakes, other people die. So this liberal feel-good cr*p is idiotic. Getting the wrong answer but feeling good about your reasoning at getting there is totally, completely unacceptable. It is an interesting commentary on the liberal mindset. They know their ideas and positions on issues are wrong. Common sense, history, statistics - hard, factual evidence proves them wrong on virtually everything modern liberalism stands for. Yet they lie to themselves, accept double standards and rampant hypocrisy that would make a sociopath blush - all because their positions on issues make them feel good and appeal to their idealism.
So it is no surprise that they are trying to extend their divorced-from-reality world view into education. Doesn't matter if you got the wrong answer there little Johnny, as long as you feel good about yourself and how you arrived at it. Wrong, actually doing things right does matter.

School is the place to learn that even if you did everything right and wrote down the wrong answer you are still wrong. Being careful, double checking your answers and making sure is the road to success, not teaching that screw ups are OK if you understood the “process”.
