Mr. Burke: Your assignment: A paper on the perils of perfectionism. Careless mistakes will, of course, lower your score by a point. But risk-taking mistakes will raise your score by two points. Mistakes you make twice cost you four points. Ones you correct and learn from earn you five. Successes you build on count double, success you coast on is a penalty factor of 1.5. Got that? Children: NO! Frazz: It does sound a little bit flawed. Mr. Burke: I like to teach by example.
