Whats the best to teach them

We have been teaching these kids for some 2 months now...and when I question what have we really achieved the answer comes out to be,sadly,nothing.. We have miserably failed to give birth to the inquisitive mind in these children thats actually required. Just teaching them to add is not sufficient...they should be the taught the why behind it.... With the last week's incident and what Deepak said about their helplessness, that they need to approach a problem in a certain way thats taught in the school...I was coerced to think what difference were we making.... These children may get good marks now in their exams....but is this all thats the goal for which I am going there....I have learned to not accept anything just for the sake of it...and thats really what I wanted to teach them....to make them open to new ideas, and not become just blind followers.... They may come out to be literate...but I dont think in this manner they will ever be educated....
