PATCH TWELVE: THE “PERTNEAR” BY TOM MIKEL (https://openfacultypatchbook.org/classroom-skill/patch-twelve-the-pertnear/)

“Where I come from, a ‘pertnear’ is what some with clearer diction may call a pretty near.  In other words, you almost got it, but not quite… When I think back I realize it’s been the pertnears that taught me the most. Failing is often not the worst thing that could happen. It might even be the best thing that could happen to a certain person at a certain time. Failing teaches us we were wrong this time, but if we fail in a safe and supportive environment we learn from that and grow from it.”
