[IBC] Odd distinctions
Andy,
snip The problem arises when the student begins to understand the theory and then thinks they've learned something - and wants to move on to something else. snip I couldn't agree more. snip I take issue with the idea that theory and practice are two different ways to learn. They're not. snip I agree. snip They're two parts of process and the practice is the most important, by far. snip Yes they are two parts of the process. However, one cannot be elevated above another. Many people who are principle oriented learners, need to have the theory in order to be able to do the practice. For them theory is more important. However, it is incomplete without practice. For some people practice is all important and theory is confusing. They tend to learn better by doing. All I am trying to say is that a broad based approach will speak to the most people. Providing theory will allow principle centered learners to enter into the practices of Bonsai more readily. Others will jump right in and ignore the theory (but unknowingly learn some of it in the process). Your analysis is insightful. Practice is where everything comes together. But some people will never really get to that part without the theory. We are all made a little differently. In my opinion this is something to celebrate!
