In contrast, a lack of preparation, such as may be evident if the teacher has to leave the room at a crucial point to find some statistical tables that need to be handed out, does not simply disrupt the flow of the lesson, but may be perceived by pupils as insulting to their sense of worth as learners (if our learning was really important, the teacher would have prepared better). While such problems will arise from time to time even in the best prepared circumstances, and pupils will tolerate these, the regular occurrence of poor preparation must be avoided.
