Hi Jason,
You make a number of good points about how to conduct a class. You last point is a very good one. The students do feed off of positive support and encouragement. It is much like when a dog runs off the owner chases it down and then smacks it with a newspaper. The dog learns very quickly that if they get caught they are going to get hit by a newspaper so they run faster and farther. Students get like that to. Negative responses give them nothing to "feed" off of so they turn off and disconnect from the learning process.
