After Paul's lesson, I truly

After Paul's lesson, I truly understood why conflict is such a good thing and promotes learning.  I agree that learning happens through "doing" and making mistakes.  Mistakes allow people experiances and a chance to create new observations. 

Also, learning does occur unconsciously...many times we tell our students their thinking too hard or making something more difficult then it has to be...when they relax and just  "do" they seem to get it.
