Textbook preaching occurs when a teacher (usually a supply/cover teacher who is relatively inexperienced) teaches pupils by relying solely on the contents of whichever textbook relates to her current lesson (e.g. a teacher covering in Chemistry reading verbatim from a chemistry textbook)
More often than not, this method does absolutely nothing to help students learn, other than reinforcing already-negative attitudes about supply teachers and forcing pupils to seek out their own means of learning.
The only exceptions include teachers assigning tasks from the textbook or simply asking students to read extracts.

Someone who knows nothing except what they have learnt in textbooks. They are closed minded insincere and backwards thinking.

Guy: It was a waste of time, just another textbook jockey... She was literally reading me questions straight from her computer.

A situation or instance that perfectly illustrates a concept or principle, often resembling the straightforward examples found in educational textbooks. This phrase is used to emphasize how directly something aligns with theoretical definitions or expectations.
When she aced the exam despite minimal studying, her success became a literal textbook example of the 'surprising outcomes' section on student performance.
