P.S.: I didn't mean that in a negative way; I was just surprised that we have to learn this because our kids have forgotten it, or probably we don’t teach planning in elementary schools.
TBH I think the bigger problem for how we teach kids are twofold:
1. There's a right answer to every problem in school
2. If you got it wrong, that's bad, and you did bad.
The pattern I've seen from younger people these days is a learned helplessness, where there's no room for them to be creative in school, and any attempt to do so runs the risk of failing an assignment, getting a B, missing out on Harvard, and spending the rest of their lives poor in a ditch, or so they're told.
