Preach floods to Noah

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"
Turns out we agree on this, so I won't try to preach floods to Noah.

.9.The more others run this way and that preaching doom and gloom the more you must refuse to worry about what’s going on. Deep down you know it will all come good in the end, so start the weekend early and have yourself some fun.9.

Textbook Preaching

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.

If you don’t have knowledge on something you can’t go teaching it to others because you’re not walking the walk.
