It makes me think of an English prof I had who gave very low grades in hope of inspiring frustrated, angry brilliance. The actual response was fear, uncertainty, apathy, fatalism ... few improved and most just gave up. The global economic crisis might show, too, that anxiety isn't a great motivator for innovation and personal industry, regardless of our national myths (Horatio Alger ... I'm looking at you.
