The second part of the quote below resonates strongly with me as a teacher due to the fact that I often come up with ideas for a lesson that I think are great, that don’t land when I am actually in the room with the kids. I think all teachers can relate to this planning problem. Thankfully it happens less as one improves, but often an idea triumphantly sketched out in the summer, is a dud when rolled out in October. Of course, military planning also seems like an example where this sort of thing is often true.

What ideas of yours need improvement before facing the reality of other minds?
