What is a better way of learning, soaking knowledge up like a sponge or like a sieve? A sponge may be saturated quickly, while an appropriate sieve retains the valuable and discards the superfluous. The essence of teaching is to enable the student to recognize the jewels in a subject, unearth them, and create a valuable collection.
