Most teachers don't teach, they regurgitate facts and processes. In the same way, most pupils don't learn, they remember facts and processes.

Really, pupils should be "taught" to be inquisitive, to discover, to question, to experiment, but you can't produce a standardized test for that so.....

This essay on the state of mathematics teaching is worth reading if you have the time:
