There's a book I read in elementary school called "Sideways Stories from Wayside School".
One chapter talks about two girls in an art class. The first girl claims to be an expert artist, because she can draw dozens of pictures inside the course of a single class. Meanwhile, she bemoans her classmate, who will spend the full hour working on a corner of the page only to show up with the same piece of paper and continue working on it the follow day.
This is what "Read a Book Every Week" guys always sound like.
where's that experiment where the teacher had half the class make as many vases or boxes or something as fast as possible with the last one submitted for a grade and the other half only had to make exactly one thing as well as they could, and the iterative practice half made better quality things?

That's one of the most beautiful analogies I've heard of.
