Thanks to lifehacker.com: " If it starts to boil up too high, the spoon will pop the bubbles and keep it from boiling over as quickly, meaning you have more time to get back and turn the heat down. Note that this could warp a wooden spoon, so do it with a utensil you don't want as much. Alternatively, you could use something metal, but you'd have to remove it with an oven mitt because it will become very hot"

Metal spoon is often placed in glass before pouring in boiling water why?

My mother didn't, actually, but if one's mother did, it was probably to start cooling it right away to reduce the chance that the glass would crack. The spoon draws away the heat and releases it to the air. So while you may need to pour boiling water over a teabag, it does what it needs to to the teabag and then quickly starts to cool.
