Some people don't learn. Others attempt to teach them
the correct way to do a
thing and they
fail - because of
stubborness or
stupidity - to grasp the
concept. Some have a
legitimate disability, but most are simply and
mysteriously dense. With these cases, it becomes easier to
supply the
correct answer or
resource than to
school them in the method for
attaining it themselves. To try and do otherwise causes
intense frustration and, one could argue, puts
the teacher in the same
category as his or her
student.
