"One hour can change the culture of an entire school. Three years ago, West Port High School in Ocala, FL, embarked on a potentially risky experiment to change the culture of its growing school.

-
-
When a kid struggles to answer a question, for example, teachers resist the urge to swoop in and offer hints. Instead, they let students squirm a little through an awkward silence. The idea is to get kids comfortable with struggle so they see it as just a normal part of learning.
