Description

The episode says: consider this common analogy from education: "teaching is like gardening."

This is not a common analogy in Latin America. I did a little research and asked several people, and on social media, most people never heard this phrase, and the interpretation is pretty different. From positive aspects to not-so-positive feelings about comparing gardening and teaching.

So perhaps we can remove the word _common_ from the text.
