With about half the class absent due to the play rehearsal, I postponed introducing Kohlberg's stages of moral development and instead re-introduced Alfie Kohn, specifically his idea that reward systems are problematic. You may recall this topic when we talked about behaviorism earlier in the term. Kohn has concluded that while reward systems work in the short term, they do not produce long-standing results. In fact, they are counter-productive.
