I have been tutoring students off and on for about three decades, using the khanmigo method ("You know more than you think you know", "Let's start with what you remember", and so on.

From then to now few students outside my homeschooling cohorts appreciate the model. They want to passively "get the thing", whether it's passing an assignment or mastering a skill. Only gamifying the lesson tricks them into putting in effort.

The “intellectually curious” gap will widen. The student who goes through the difficult process will win out.

Students are rewarded for answers, not for learning. Of course they go for the quick answer.
