The ability to experience raw, messy joy is something you’re not taught to cherish.
In my experience it is a good lesson for about 50% of absolute beginners, but a great lesson for 99% of folks who have just started grokking their "first" language etc.
I am now in the process of teaching an absolute beginner in my family and in this case I'll stick to my specialties because I can tell they'll become frustrated if they can't get _something_ working on their own. Thus, I bet they want clear "unstucking" help rather than a "let me google that with you". They are more concerned with the 1st thing, and not the broader "how does someone who know this stuff goes about learning?"
Anyway, I digress - in any case these initial lessons are great for me as a teacher to experience that discovery through them
It’s the same with everything, isn’t it.
There’s a stage in life when you’re relatively young and it makes sense to go deeper into whatever inspires you. But as you grow older it’s probably good to make an effort to try more new things, to get back some of that feeling of discovery. It may not work out quite like that but it’s worth to keep trying.
