It's okay to struggle.
In fact, we encourage it.
Students should learn to grapple with challenging ideas, problems, and text. They should use a variety of strategies to break information into to smaller more familiar parts. This allows them to consideration solution strategies and formulate a plan of action. Watching the students become more skillful learners through this practice is awesome. The pride the students demonstrate when they determine an effective solution is priceless. Don't be afraid to let them struggle at home too. Talk through solution strategies to real world problems. You might be surprised at what great problem solvers you live with!
