Dirty shame schools don't allow teachers to "teach" students real life lessons any more.
We had a shop teacher who taught us how to weld. Someone got real good at it. He welded the jaws shut on the shop vice.
The next day, the shop teacher had us all go over to bench to see the vandalized vice.
He simply asked, "Who did this?" No one fessed up. He said, "Too bad whoever did this didn't come clean because he would have received an A in this class. That is some of the best welds I have ever seen. Look at the perfect bead from one end to the other, and the good penetration."
He never said another word about it. The next day, that vice was returned to its fully functioning state.
High level teaching method right there.
