Not cruel at all - just realistic.
People can learn physics from a book - or while keeping a small
airplane from prematurely contacting the ground.
People can learn geometry in high school - or by working with
a carpenter building a house.
Method 2 is usually more effective, albiet less thorough.

If someone wants to learn something badly enough, they will ask
questions. If not, they won't learn, unless motivated by threats
of bad grades, and even then, only enough to get by.
