That's awful - just an awful way to teach. It's from more than a century ago when the point was to tame the children and turn them into good Prussian soldiers.
You don't have to start with anxiety, shame, and dominance - you can start with curiosity, a base of common understanding, and then experiment and problem solving.
What's awful is thinking that making mistakes is a form of shame, and that being corrected is a form of dominance. That view is something that is taught and acquired and I am very thankful that the people who taught me never made me feel that way. I make mistakes all the time and I never have to feel ashamed about it, nor do I feel that the people in my life who I've learned from hold some kind of position of power over me.

If you judge by the outcome, that is probably the greatest education system of all time.

You can. The kids will learn nothing though.
School nowadays is a joke. An absolute waste of time. In a single semester of rigorous mathematics I learned more than in years in school. It is cruel to waste childrens time like that.
School needs to be authoritarian, rigorous and selective.
the space elevator has to go a LOT higher than that. also, the landing gear is down on the reentering shuttle. The big thing people don't get is that orbit is about sideways speed not altitude and this does nothing to address it. I don't get the hype for this, it's cute but not much at all.
depends how sophisticated the investor in the story is. it thay are perfect homo economicus they would have been selling some of those inflated shares to do what they would have done with the dividends
