I do not see kids learning arithmetic from teachers who say "read the book stupid", it is all there. If we are to teach members, we must offer helpful guidance in getting to the knowledge. If all we needed was information, why are there so many teachers in the world?

A good teacher will connect his students with the right information in the quickest way possible.
teachers are paid to "spoonfeed", we are not

IMOG, I know you disagree, posting for benefit of others:

give a man a fish, he eats for a day
teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime

searching=fishing for knowledge
