Is it what your organization needs or is it the safe course of action?

How do we tell?

"Deceipt as a weapon has a long history."

Sure can't argue against that.

Its still interesting to me that many educators assume their students are "blank slates." Their social experiences in and out of school, physical environments, social environments , biology (but lets not get to eugenics) are all factors that matter.

Perhaps the most important skill for teachers is breaking down the barriers to social connection among all participants in their courses.
