That's really funny since I have students telling other students that they absolutely MUST take my classes. They must like the fact that I use positive reinforcement rather than humiliation to achieve results!
Out of curiosity, what do you teach, and where? (Not specifics, just like elementary, middle, whatever)
I also teach positive reinforcement and not humiliation.
It amazes me you would bash teachers if you are a teacher yourself, as you say. [stunned]
