Learning is like a puzzle

Several years ago one of my students explained to me why school just didn't work for him.
"Mrs Tyrol, learning is like a puzzle. I need to see the pieces one at a time and have help putting them together. Most teachers just give it to me all assembled and when they pass it to me that way and I try to pick it up, it just falls apart."

What a powerful statement and a challenge to us all!
