I wasn't critisising anyone at all Bifta but he ISN'T performing brain surgery is he?
He may fail but so what.At least he will have tried.His enthusiasm is really a refreshing change to the usual apathetic teenagers I come across in everyday life so I reckon encouragement can't hurt.SO if he fails he fails and maybe he will have learned the lesson you think he should learn.Whom will he have hurt in the process?
How many of us always listened to our elders and betters all the time and never made a mistake.Mistakes are how we really learn.We can watch and learn by example(other peoples mistakes) but I bet everyone here remembers that the best lessons learned were the ones when we fell flat on our faces.
Incog.
