A good instructor knows best of all what he can't teach.

You can't teach what you don't know. Paradoxically, you never learn
a subject as well as when you try to teach it to someone else.

Actually, both statements are true - and there is no paradox.

Paradox merely refers to the *apparent* inconsistency.


Yes, it is crucially important for an instrutor to know what he can't
teach. Those are the edges of his instruction envelope. They're not
the edges of his flight envelope. You can't teach effectively when
you're pushing your own limits. The corollary is that you can't teach
something you've never done, and neither can you teach something
you've only done once or twice. You need depth of experience.

I promised myself I'd butt out of this thread, but any chance Dudley
would agree with this? Personality conflict aside, I really think
you guys are not as far apart on outlook as he seems to think you
are.
