Teachers in Tucson went on strike. Generally, I think teachers should exempt themselves from this kind of activity “for the children.”

In this case, what they were doing actually was for the children.

  1. Mrs. Bogey and I have used this very tactic with students we taught in Korea. It’s effective. Ah, the power of the guilt-trip…

  3. I thought you preferred /non-lethal/ rounds!

    Seriously though, where have you used this tactic? It’d be interesting to see which cultures are more susceptible to manipulation via pure guilt and which are immune to it…
