Experience is the Best Teacher????

i think book is the best teacher. from book we can learn other experiences without undergo the (bad) effect. using book, we also save time. we can learn a whole life experiences of other people in some hours.

sometimes experience is the best teacher but not all the time, I did not have to put my hand in the fire to know that it was hot, my parents taught me that. I do believe we do learn from others as well. but let's see you don't really know what it is to be a mother, until you have your own child, you can read books, listen to what others say but having your own child makes for a better understanding, so that i the best experience I learned from, having my own child, raising and caring for my son.

Hello, MinamiKesh! Yes, in a certain way of speaking, experience sure is the best teacher. Some people can't learn anything without living it. But you can also learn from others. You can see the others making mistakes and you can learn from it. You don't necessarily need to put your hands in the fire to get burnt and know that it hurts. However, you can also learn GOOD things. And this is where experience is the best teacher. You can see others para-chuting and say: "How cool!". However, if you experience it, you will then feel how good is it. So, experience is the best teacher. It teaches you through emotions. You can learn because you have felt adrenalin, happiness, joy, or sadness, pain, and many other feelings. I could spend hours here and wouldn't complete the list. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

Experience definitely is the best teacher but you need to have some education where you will learn the theories and the principles that will guide you in your actual experiences. Without education, it is like entering a totally new situation where you have to work out things by trial and error. You'll get experienced but you'll get some bruises and scars along the way (that gives you some advantages though) while education makes life a little bit easier...

going to college and living in a dorm was an experience. i didnt get homesick. but it was interesting living with all kinds of people in one building, and the school stress, etc.

Well, yes because you get to apply all the things that you have learned in school and study! It also applies in our daily lives and relationships toward people.
