The purpose of the machinery of education is to improve the efficiency of learning. The spirit of education should include respecting the agency of learners. It would be just as inappropriate to use coercive torture techniques to improve the efficiency of learning as it would be to eliminate the provision of specific, direct guidance in the name of agency. As with much else in life, our goal here should be to find and walk the virtuous middle way.

I dunno, you could create a whole cottage industry around themed experiential learning, replete with leather aprons, whips and dungeons. Every now and again you could stage events with nobility dressed in gowns, hoods and bonnets on the lawn in front of a sandstone building where students would line up to receive embossed parchment sealed with hot wax. Hang on…
It all sounds terribly familiar!
