I SO SO agree with this. I never understood the value of harsh crisiticm because I used to be all about self esteem and confidence. But then I took this writing class and she was the hardest grader I'd ever had. I'd never gotten a B- in my life before. And I got that first B-, and I worked harder than I'd ever worked in my life before, and I got an A- on the next one. Getting higher grades, a promotion, winning an election, whatever it is, is SO much sweeter when it's acheived under a critical eye. I have never learned more than I learned with this professor because I had to fight so hard.
