Agreed. In my class I always start with the hard/wrong way. Point out why it's hard/wrong. Let them hate it. Then show the easy/correct way. You can't just point them at something and say, "Do it this way or else." That's not teaching. That's directing.

What do you do when they decide that they prefer the wrong way? Eval is pretty compelling to beginners!
