4 Reasons why should teachers stop spoon feeding children? https://www.qriyo.com/blog/teachers-stop-spoon-feedingchildren/
There are two types of students found in every class. The ones who are ahead of what’s being taught in class and the ones who study exactly what is being taught. The former are more likely to develop their personality and become intellectual. By being ahead of the class, I don’t mean they must be going to coaching centers. What I really mean is, when the study really interests them, they no longer see it as something to clear the exam for. They study it because they want to. Only when teachers stop spoon feeding children, they will learn to love what are they are supposed to do.
Creativity gets killed 
If the teacher is always the one doing the hard work for children, how can they become creative? Thinking out of the box takes birth when a child applies its own mind and takes help from none. Of course, children do need teaching, but there has to be a line drawn as to what extent a teacher is helping children. A teacher’s job is to make children find interest in what they are being taught. Rest of the path should be walked by children on their own.
Knowledge is nothing if they don’t know how to use it
When a student is able to explain to you why did world war I take place, it means he/she took immense interest in history lessons at school. Not only for clearing exams, but also for increasing their knowledge. A teacher should not only teach them in a manner that is interesting to pay attention to but should also conduct vivas, regular discussions, debates, presentations, etc. In order to do well in those areas, students really have to work hard, that’s when teachers stop spoon feeding children.
They should know how to learn
Not every time someone’s going to be there to help them get through. Teachers should not make children dependent on them, they should only guide them along the way. And also let them find their own way. The more trouble they go through during their childhood, the more chances of them becoming an independent person. Trouble in school life transforms children into intelligent beings. When they start college, they should not feel helpless after knowing that the new teachers aren’t like school teachers. The very reason college teachers aren’t like school teachers is that students are expected to get their hands dirty, instead of getting help everytime
Ideas take birth when one does the hard work
If as a teacher, you taught quadratic equations or percentages or any other topic to your students. With plenty of examples, you showed them how to solve various questions. You did everything a good teacher does, now it’s time for them go self-study, understand what you taught them and practice some questions themselves. Here’s what you should do the next day: You should assign some new questions to them, which they didn’t see the day before. Of course, they will have trouble solving them, instead of helping right at that time, give those questions for homework. Tell them that the basics that were taught to them yesterday will be enough to solve these new questions. They just have to figure out how to use those basics effectively. They will brainstorm for the entire day and will come up with more than one way to solve a problem. The objective of this exercise was to bring students closer to the roots of any topic
