Another thing I've discovered about instructing (especially in busy
airspace like around New York), is that a fair part of your job is being
able to anticipate what ATC will let you do and what they won't. Some
of my biggest failures have been flights where I came up with a lesson
plan only to discover that ATC denied us the clearances required to
execute the plan.


Ditto here... I fly on the other side of NY from Roy and spend a lot
of time with my students teaching how much difference there is
between the book world and the real world...

It's like chess... Always be thinking ahead... As one of my buddies
always asks his instrument students... What are the two most
important things in instrument flying??? (you'd really be suprised
at the variety of things you get back)... The next 2 things...
