> Kids need to learn to learn but they also need to be taught.

I have no children (so grain of salt), but what I think kids need is more what you'd call "guidance".

Not necessarily teaching them, but more showing them how to learn, and how to discover interests and pursue them, which may lead them down a life path.

I had it easy. My dad just had to leave some computers lying around. None of my other siblings went into tech. 2/3 of my siblings did a bunch of different things before settling into their current careers.
