Telling Alone Reasons Telling Alone Doesn t Work Most People just don t get it through telling Things seem complicated when listening to words We cannot use the exact words necessary Many operations are difficult to describe in words It s hard to tell the right amount and to know whether it is understood or not Telling Alone Is Not Good Instruction
Showing Alone Reasons Showing Alone Isn t Good Instruction Even if it looks completed, in most cases it is just a copy of the motions and doesn t mean we understand the job Many motions are hard to copy Tricky points are missed We don t know what comes next We cannot translate what we see into what we do Showing Alone Is Not Good Instruction
