Sincerly, Jonathan Baldino

Another reason I teach English: when my students get arrested, I want them to write statements that are more convincing than this one.

    You teach them to be insincere?

    Absolutely! Insincerity is the golden key to the door of success!

    But can insincerity really be taught?
    Doesn't it have to come from the heart?

    But can insincerity really be taught?

    Surely Socrates established that in the Meno through his role as the first straight man.

    I made my students rewrite it as a warm-up, making it "more convincing." (I frowned when I saw some ending it without fixing "Sincerly.")
