Education Quote by Joan Jessalyn Cox

“If you have only gone through the teaching process, even if you have been taught well, it doesn’t become perfected until you go through the trial and error of using the principles you were taught. The action you take to prove the value of a principle is called experience.” quote by Joan Jessalyn Cox
