Turtle and Tortise and The Stupid Story

Turtle addressed her class.
"I am very disappointed in you.  I asked you all to finish your homework, and only 3 of you actually did that I asked you to do.  There are 400 of you in here!  I don't know what your problem is, but you had better get your act together!"
Most of Turtle's students turned their noses up at her.
"What a bitch."
"She has no idea what we're going through."
"Fuck her, I'm not listening to her anymore."
"I did my homework, but I don't like getting yelled at.  I know she's not yelling at me.  But she's yelling at all of us, and I'm a part of all of us.  This doesn't make me want to do anything for her again."
The next time Turtle asked her class to do their homework, only 2 completed their work.  Again, Turtle chastised them, telling them they had all fallen short of her expectations and they were disappointing to her.  Ultimately, none of Turtle's students did their homework.  They all failed school.  And they were all put on welfare.  All because they didn't finishe their homework in Turtle's class.

Tortise addressed her class.
"Well, I noticed that only 3 of you were able to complete your homework, leaving 397 of you who weren't able to finish your homework.  So you know, I'm going to continue to assign homework, and it is part of your grade in this class.  So I need to make sure you guys do as much of your homework as you can.  I'd like to see what's going on with you guys so that I can adjust things as needed to give you all the best chances to succeed that I can."
And Tortise then guided a respectful class discussion.
The students didn't say much, but most of them would say they felt respected.
And none of them were yelled at.
And the following week, more students turned in their work.
And more continued to turn in their work as the semester continued.
And they all passed.
And they all went on to be happy and wealthy and President of the United States of America.
