It's a very good motivator for critical thinking though.
It really isn't. Think about a kid embarrassing their parent over some tech thing they don't know.
*Taking from my other reply:
To understand something (think critically) you need to know the information. So it boils down to embarrassing someone for not knowing things. There is too much in life to know absolutely everything, thus my example on tech.
The parent is supposed to teach the child that information. Not mock and embarrass them for not already knowing it.
That's an old dog though.
And a young dog knows absolutely nothing. Really, you know absolutely nothing when you're born into the world.
