167. Negative reinforcement is simply punishment by another name, and
punishment has no place in education.

I never said that animals could not be taught a single behavior using those principles. I'm saying people cannot be educated and become integrated members of society using those principles.

Thanks for helping me clarify.

It's not really off-topic, though, because the school is built on it, and if it is no good, the school should cease to exist, very much on topic.
