Praising progress and providing constructive criticism need not be mutually exclusive.

When I say that 70% is not good enough and HEY maybe we should try for 100%, you tell me that MAYBE praise progress then. And then you come around and say HEY my examples like community colleges and scholarships are only 70% maybe try for 100%! Does this sound familiar yet? > Praising progress and providing constructive criticism need not be mutually exclusive. So provide some constructive criticism, rather than saying "70% is awesome because CHEAP so who cares about quality".
