In praise of guides

I agree with all the good things that Doug Johnson has to say about guides. "Why does learning in school have to be so disagreeable to so many students and teachers when we all know learning itself can be about the most fun one can have under the right circumstances. Maybe a little more guiding and a little less 'teaching' might make even school a better place." Maybe so. But I note in passing that exactly the same actions undertaken by the guides, when on people who are not in the tour voluntarily, and have been forced to attend, is called kidnapping, and therein loses many of its charming properties.
