> Self learning and self study is a skill poorly taught or not taught at all.

Stands to reason. Most jurisdictions restrict teaching positions to only those who have proven that they haven't figured out how to self-learn. If a self-learner has some desire to teach self-learning, there is little opportunity for them to do so without jumping through an array of pointless hoops that quickly diminish the desire.

Which places on the onus on parents. Which is problematic as they may not understand self-learning themselves, and even those who do are apt to not consider that it is a skill to teach, seeing self-learning itself as something to self-learn.
