Students should always feel free to ask for help, but it is struggle that 
teaches us the most. It's about attitude...

*It doesn't matter how long it takes to learn something*

In our culture, we value quickness. But that is a trap. The typical 
learning progression builds momentum:

- Put 10 units of effort in, get 1 unit of results out
- Put 1 in, get 1 out
- Put 1 in, get 10 out

There is no way to alter this sequence ;-) How many times have we given up 
just because things were not easy or clear at first?

*That which we learn, we learn by doing*

Reading about and thinking about are useful, but not nearly good enough.  
That is why students *must* have a project that is important to them.  The 
project will put them into action.
