Well, it might be worth starting with an exploration of the above
principle. Here's a question for the readers: can a LO be established or
long continue without a solid foundation of trust? Even in a "simple",
one teacher-one student situation, there must be trust going both ways.
(Question: how is learning impaired if the teacher doesn't trust the
student?)
