Advocate to someone an opinion or stance that s/he already holds -- preach to the converted -- push on an open door . . . with a flavour of "a bit of a waste of time and effort"

Get the preached outmug. 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.

Pupil 1: Can you believe that? The supply teacher isn't even bothering, is she?
Pupil 2: How so?
Pupil 1: She's reading the contents of the textbook word-for-word! Classic case of textbook preaching.
Pupil 2: True that.
