I really enjoyed reading the article you presented by Alix Spiegel. I agree with his point of view, in the United States we often see it as a red flag if a student is showing difficulty acquiring new knowledge. In reality, it's just a part of the learning process for many students.
As a third grade teacher, I don't think I would call on the student who is completing the problem incorrectly to come up and show the class, but only because of the way the class would respond. I would be afraid that the other students would think poorly of the student, or make him/her feel bad. Perhaps over time, when the learning environment is more secure for a situation like this, I would give it a try.
