It needs to mention two important facts:

1. the students are self-guided 2. you have built a theory based on your observations

I'd suggest, for example:

"How is your mind not blown by students who seem to succeed through self-guidance?"

I've thought about it a bit. I realize the title is annoying on Hacker News, but I think the title is ok within the general context of my blog for those who read it regularly.

I'll think about another title, and I'm sorry (sort-of as I've enjoyed the debate here) for the sensationalist title on Hacker News, but I don't think it's a huge deal outside of this specific context...
