Description
Everyone thinks they understand teaching because everyone has been taught.
This is the first problem.
Teaching is one of the very few professions where prolonged exposure is mistaken for expertise. Nobody watches surgery for twelve years and says, "I could do that." Nobody sits through a decade of air travel and announces, "Frankly, I have opinions about how pilots should land planes." But teaching? Teaching is different. Teaching feels familiar. Teaching happens in rooms that look ordinary. Teaching involves talking, writing, standing, sitting, and occasionally pointing at things. Surely this can't be that complicated.
It is.
Teaching is not the delivery of information. It is the engineering of understanding inside a distracted, emotionally loaded, metabolically fragile, social mammal whose brain evolved to hunt, gossip, avoid predators, and conserve energy-not to sit still and absorb abstract symbols for seven hours a day.
