Yes, and in it's place is the good old fashioned "Do ___ or you're fired."
(aka "Do ___ or you fail.")
Glad we're rid of that tired, failed molly-coddling stuff that those
whacky liberals dreamed up. I know _I_ for one feel *much* better. ;-)
Rampant sarcasm... What I mean is, there is no crime in trying to make
something enjoyable, but if it is overly contrived or inappropriate for
the situation, it's doomed to failure before it begins.
One of it's bigger flaws (IMHO) is the assumption that one persons "fun"
is another's. This _does_ present the previously mentioned quandary of
"What's wrong with me? This is supposed to be fun, but I'm not having
it!"
Yet another argument for student-centered learning...
