The purpose of instruction is never just to cover content, it's to equip you with the habits, attitudes, mindsets, & abilities to learn the rest of your life OUTSIDE of school. How can kids possibly do that in a productive way if they've never asked & answered a self-generated question?

I mean, who hasn't done a necessary DIY home/car repair? šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

I find, too, that the more DIY repairs I do, the better I get at understanding, diagnosing, and fixing problems that come up.

Is the point of explicit instruction to be forever helpless?
