Come on, Clod, where are you getting such damnation of teachers ?

Using an Oreo to demonstrate plate tectonics is not a bribe.
It's a good model that kids at many levels can understand.
If as you say, it also happens to be fun, what's wrong with that ?

And the permission slip just shows the teacher was thinking ahead
about what might happen to the cookies during/after the demonstration.

I thought it was an innovative, inexpensive, and readily available prop
by a conscientious (and maybe well-experienced !) teacher.
