alleryNCF 2005 says that errors in children's language are:
AHabits to punish early
BA sign of poor teaching
CProof of a weak memory
DA necessary part of learning
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. A necessary part of learning
1. NCF 2005 accepts that errors are a necessary part of the process of learning.
2. Children will correct themselves only when they are ready to do so.
3. So teachers should not treat errors as faults to be punished.
4. Blaming teaching or memory also treats errors as faults.
**Why not the others:** Punishing errors, blaming teaching or blaming memory all treat errors as faults rather than as steps in learning.
