A TEACHING TECHNIQUE- US vs. THEM 
It exists everywhere between many different groups, sometimes it exists on the conscious level, sometimes sub-consciously. Consider these groups, tall people vs. short people, bald people vs. people with long hair, Blondes vs. brunettes, and TEACHERS vs. STUDENTS. Imagine this diverseness as an actual physical gap.
Here is the concept The larger the gap the less likely knowledge will be able to pass over. Quickly I must add there must be a GAP. A GAP is necessary (no intimate interaction between student and teacher should ever be tolerated.) The bottom line is keep the gap, but keep it narrow. HOW? What is the ACTION STEP? Use the talking point. Say, “I am not the ENEMY”. Now
Identify the real enemy. Say “
the enemy is IGNORANCE”
Describe the ENEMY, “Say the enemy will make you miserable, keep you broke, unhappy and even kill you.”
Personify the ENEMY. Get a mannequin place Freddy Kruger gloves on him. Sit him in corner. When a student fails to perform up to expectations, point to the mannequin and say, “He is going to get you.” ( you can stuff paper in clothes to create this effigy) MORE ACTION STEPS ______________________ Action step Never use
