Sigh. Apparently this teacher has never built anything. One does not
build a kit to learn something.

That's simply not so. If the first kit, you'll learn to recognise at
least some components. Possible also decide to learn how to use colour
codes - or at least understand what they are for.

One builds it to have something that works.

Maybe in later years - but for many the making is equally as pleasurable
as the using. If not why bother?

The learning is incidental

That's the best way to learn. ;-)
