Thanks Rachel, depending on the grade to the student, you can create a lot of defiant compliance if you are not careful. It does tie-in.

I just finished teaching a class to new teachers and the skill that got the most resistance from the new teachers is the idea systematic use of eye contact. We tell them to use eye contact when the interaction is positive and avoid the eye contact when the interaction is negative. Many of them say that they teach their students to have eye contact because it shows that you are listening. Well, we all know the truth about that. But, saying what you say here about "defiant compliance" might really help when talking about the detriments of forcing someone to have eye contact with you, management or otherwise. Thanks for the tip. This ties in nicely with what teachers do when they demand that the student looks at them when they are speaking to the student.
