when I taught beginers sampler quilts, I always made 2 of each block-- one perfect and one with the most common mistakes. Then I could show how to avoid the mistake next time and how to fix what was already done.
I loved teaching those classes and seeing the great work that came out of them.

they always start out by saying "lets see how it came out" "Ahh its just perfect!" LOL
I wanna see that block come out like it comes out for me then explain why it turned out that way and how to fix it!

Eleanor Burns has a quilt she sewed a piece of fabric onto and she kept it to show she is not perfect.
Also on her website when she is filming a class, sometimes she messes up. So nobody is perfect.
She also takes seams out with her rotary cutter, now that takes some practice.

Sorry but I disagree. I want to learn how to do it properly and IF (or when - lol) things go wonky, I want to dismantle it myself to figure it out.
It's either the cutting or the pressing, or the seam allowance or the orientation of the pieces. Looking at someone else's mistakes doesn't tell me why my work sucks.
