Today, August 15th is National Failures Day! That’s right… it’s a day to celebrate failures! Seems a little weird, right? But it’s actually a pretty good thing. In fact, the teacher my kids had the last 2 years of school taught their whole class that the word fail actually stands for:

A=attempt
I=in
L=learning
