Yup, probably one of the hardest things for me when I was starting into mentoring is to remember that, unlike in industry, the point isn't always to get the thing done the fastest and most efficient way. The point is to teach why it's done that way, even if it means doing it less efficient way, and doing it that way over and over.
I usually make the student do it the hard way the first time (or the first couple times). And then, once they've done that, show them the easy way.
I make students tap things freehand when they're new, and then once they've tapped four or five parts like that, and they get frustrated from having to constantly make sure that the tap is going in straight, I introduce them to the tap guide block that does that for you.
