Before you decide the best way to pour liquid from one vessel to another first ask yourself, "Do I absolutely need to do this?"
"is there risk of causing damage to the vessel?"
"Will all the liquid fit?"
"Is the vessel leaky?"
vessel=student
liquid=instruction

I want to clarify this metaphor because I wrote it poorly. The key I was focusing on is, "is this absolutely necessary?"
Using sharp utensils and traffic safety are absolutely necessary. I need to be able to pass down at least some of my instruction on such topics.

Adults, in my experience, have a habit of looking at *everything* we want kids to do is absolutely necessary. I wanted to challenge that.
There are many instances where not only is my instruction unnecessary but it's actually damaging.

But maybe the metaphor is still trash even with this clarification. Maybe I should delete it, but the conversation has been helpful for me so I'll leave it up.
