Instruction does not prevent wasted time or mistakes; and mistakes themselves are often the best teachers of all.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Mistakes are the best teachers. One does not learn from success. It is desirable to learn vicariously from other people's failures, but it gets much more firmly seared in when they are your own.
I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.
It's okay to make mistakes. Mistakes are our teachers - they help us to learn.
I noticed that when it came time to improvise, my students would often make mistakes.
Failure is a great teacher, and I think when you make mistakes and you recover from them and you treat them as valuable learning experiences, then you've got something to share.
Memory and creativity are essential to education, but if you teach memory incorrectly, it is a total waste of time, and it will inhibit learning.
Through the learning experiences, I've been trying to eliminate mistakes. I don't want the same mistake to happen twice.
Students rarely disappoint teachers who assure them in advance that they are doomed to failure.
It is worth while too to warn the teacher that undue severity in correcting faults is liable at times to discourage a boy's mind from effort.
One of the great things about education is that it should stop you making mistakes - and I have made a lot of mistakes.
