About to start chapter 11.
The testing tactics section was helpful for seeing what is going on and reminding me to not let it get to me.

I have very mixed feelings about a lot of these tactics. Especially the ones with artificial reinforcement techniques as motivators. How does this help children build their own sense of internal motivation to do right instead of wrong? But also, if it works.....I can see the appeal. I just want to have a lasting positive impact not just success in the moment.
