Theory vs. Reality

Over the weekend we headed out to the coast to relax on the beach and enjoy some non-Otavalo night life. While searching for the perfect beach-front bar, we spotted one that had swings in place of stools. Awesome! Right? That's what we thought, so we sat down and chilled. But as it turns out, you couldn't swing much at all without hitting your knees on the bar, and the swings were so widely spaced that you couldn't chat with your neighbor. Good in theory, not so great in reality.

That's how I feel about lesson planning. We sit around all morning grading papers, creating/photocopying homework, tearing paper into flash cards, and brainstorming ways to make it fun for the kids, but it never ends up happening that way.
