I noticed that this tutorial points to the following blog:

http://byorgey.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/abstraction-intuition-and-the-monad-tutorial-fallacy/

Wow! The author of this blog has nailed it. Trust me, I know, I was a 
math teacher for years (a *good* teacher, based on student reviews). The 
author of this blog is exactly right about why most tutorials about 
abstract concepts are no help (and why so many math teachers are bad).

Now I'll go on to read the tutorial, encouraged that the author probably 
knows how to teach.

Cheers,
Daniel.
