The basic theory:
Kids make up their own ways of learning and "construct" knowledge by themselves.
Teaching kids requires facilitating exploration of different things so they can discover the principles them.
In Reality:
Governments create ambiguous goals that did not make clear what teachers should do to help kids learn.
Kids do not understand basic concept because they need to be presented in proper instructions based on age of how kids learn and develop.
What I experienced was that they just gave me math work sheets and no instructions and just try really hard and many times to you get answers right.
Since I am in the USA: Lower scores after the movement by "no child left behind act" took away money from poor schools punishing them for underperformance. This created greater inequality and rich schools/parents did better.
Good ways to learn as a kid:
Teachers should know the Evidence on how kids actually learn with cognitive science.
Often teachers had to look at how to do this by themselves because of how they were trained as teachers and personal experience.
Scaffolding, proper instruction connecting what you know to new knowledge through retrieval and cognitive load taken into consideration.
