No idea why you would provide the equal transit time theorem to students, it makes such a low amount of sense that you're inevitably going to get your students extremely confused if they are paying any attention at all.
"Why does the air have to transit in the same time period?"
"But _why_ is the air moving over the top faster? Weren't you going to tell me how a wing works?" Etc etc etc
It is the worst kind of lie-to-children (and adults) in my opinion, it's not a simplified true answer it's a whole cloth fabrication that vaguely gestures in the right direction, partially, if you are being generous.
The idea that people get tested on regurgitating it for a pilots license is crazy.
It's up there with those ridiculous tounge maps with taste regions on them.
