Third Grade Conditioning

“All right, students, who can tell me three brands of air conditioners sold in Australia?” I asked. “First to do so wins chocolate!” Several hands shot up, but I chose Sarah. “Alpha, Minstrel and Pan Sonic,” she said. “Excellent work, Sarah. Come up and choose a chocolate from my table.” I think the third graders …
