The relationship between confusion and growth in the text are closely linked. Confusion is important for intellectual growth and self growth. For example, the passage says, "Students who expressed confusion during the lesson did better on the final test." This shows that being confused leads to growth in school and brain development. The passage also states, "Confusion isn’t just an important step to learning in school, it’s also important for learning who you are. " Confusion helps you explore different ways to find your "identity". In addition, it is a necessary part of understanding yourself. Confusion impacts not only intellectual growth but also affects self growth.
