I have discerned the reaso I struggle so much with lesson planning, out of all aspects of
education. It's not like I do not understand the information, but the very act of planning itself is virtually anathema to me. Structure what? I understand and embrace the need for a classroom manageent plan, but otherwise, I do not fathom why it is necessary to outline a day of class detail by detail. Loose guidelines over set in stone, please!

However, I am not a schemer. I (generally successfully) improvise on my feet. That whole concept of "organization" and "planning" is foreign to me.

Maybe I should try to get it out again... these things are lame.
