Difference between teaching for a moment and a lifetime

“If you give a starving man a fish you feed him for a day. But if you teach the man how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. If you teach a student with learning disabilities a fact, you help the student for the moment. But if you teach that student how to learn, you help the student for a lifetime”.

-Deshler, Ellis and Lenz (1996)
