I think this set of quotations is what has me going. Slater sets a tone of whatever Skinner's children may have experienced, it resulted in a negative outcome. Why not a positive outcome, since, if she has correctly represented Skinner, that should have been the outcome? I feel like from the get go there is no objectivity when a side is taken. Unfortunately, this is the image that is now being presented to the lay public. More damage control at my end! Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.
