This teacher seems pretty bright. I'm sure if she had a few quiet minutes to think and regroup, she could come up with a stellar explanation. But instead, she has to proceed with the lesson, manage the classroom, and tackle an interesting puzzle at the same time.
At home, merely trying to manage my work and two kids with their remote learning often puts me in the same spot. I will often do some tutoring with them during a work break. But my brain power is already silently depleted, so if any kind of obstacle or creative question arises, I struggle to even begin thinking of an approach to it.
