If only that were true. In a perfect world.

I've been thinking about why it upset me so much. I've figured out it is the use of coercion and the way the use of coercion is justified by statistics that purport to measure something I don't believe they are measuring (Wishingstar's post points out many of the problems with the study).

I think it is dangerous to confer power to one group over another. You do that believing/hoping the more powerful group is benevolent and that absolutely is not necessarily true. In this situation, the students do not have the option to refuse "help" whether they experience it as helpful or not. You can read this board to easily find a very small sampling of some abusive therapeutic relationships. Now imagine the posters were forced to participate in them under threat of expulsion.
