When future teachers with no experience of teaching come to observe my classes, they always exclaim at the end, “I thought that teaching was hard but it’s so easy! I had no idea how easy it is!”
And I always think, “My dear friend, if only you knew that the hardest part is precisely making it look this effortless.”
It looks so easy only because there is a ton of preparation, a structure and a lot of hard work which ensure that everything flows into everything else and that students ask the questions I need them to ask exactly when I want them to.

Yes! At least future teachers will learn this eventually–I find convincing non-teachers of this a much bigger hurdle.
