The Legacy of Behaviorism: Do this and you'll get that.

To control students is to force them to accommodate to a preestablished curriculum.

Social psychology has found the more you reward people for doing something, the more they tend to lose interest in whatever they had to do to get the reward.

Learning is something students do, NOT something done to students.

How can we do our best when we are spending our energies trying to make others lose - and fearing that they will make us lose?

When we do things that are controlling, whether intentional or not, we are not going to get those long-term outcomes.

Children learn how to make good decisions by making decisions, not by following directions.
