Most of us were raised in a world where adults shaming us was normal.  As teachers, are we carrying on this tradition to the detriment of the students, and to ourselves as well?  When was the last time being shamed motivated you to do something?   (Note:  I realize that shaming is still a tool in many cultures and may seem effective.  This episode addresses shaming in cultures similar to the American one, where students are more apt to fight back or shut down in the face of shaming.)
