Literally the teachers job to explain everything.
Some explaining, but mostly the job is teach students how to think critically, seek resources, manage time at short medium and long terms, express yourself orally and written, build endurance for boring things, and most importantly to read.
I can explain riding a bike all day. But that’s not how someone learns to ride.
But the analogy is more that a student shows up to bike riding class, and hasn't learned to ride the bike beforehand, expecting the teacher to explain how it's done
If we expected students to learn the material before coming to class to listen to the teacher explain said material, then why do they even need to go to class?
Reflecting on the material afterwards is on the student of course
