You’re too soft on them, Izumo. The kids still need to be scared into learning. Especially the ones who need the better grades the most.

Maybe, but I don't think it's our jobs to try to force learning under stressful conditions. Just as it isn't our jobs to really try to trick kids on tests.

Sure it is. As much as we deny it, part of our job is to get them into a position of responsibility, and part of that is forcing yourself to do a job, even if it isn't appealing. The real world won't care whether it's snowing out, if you catch my, uh, drift.
