Quantity vs Quality

Transcript

Listen to this. The teacher splits the class into two groups. One side is graded on quantity. 50lbs of pottery gets an A. The other is graded on quality. Just one pot, but it has to be perfect by the end. By the end, the best work actually came from the quantity group because they were learning by doing so. So when you tell me that you haven't posted because you are making the video perfect, I promise you, you are missing the point.
