cognitive overload

i spend this week at an educators' conference. time was when they told us to teach and we taught, someone says, and now we discover there's supposed to be a science to it. yep. it's enough to paralyze all your good intentions. you spend half a lifetime acquiring content and now there's the delivery method to parse as well. theory is well and good, my old friend says, but we are trying to impart an art. perhaps the old apprenticeship wasn't that far off.
