Inspired by @derwinmcgeary's post (https://octodon.social/@derwinmcgeary/111921298436478955) from a couple of days ago, I wrote a quick blog entry about teaching, feedback, and regression towards the mean. I hope I didn't get the explanation wrong and that I understood the point correctly!

Teaching, feedback, and regression toward the mean
Why negative feedback by itself does not mean better teaching (even if it somehow means better results).blog.juanrloaiza.com
Grab a couple of dice. Roll them.If you get below 5, those are rookie numbers. Shout at the dice, let them know they're underperforming.
If you get above 9, that's what we want to see! They're good dice, and you should acknowledge that.
Repeat that and keep a record. You'll notice that negative feedback often results in better performance on the next roll. Positive feedback, conversely, can make them get lazy.
