Larry, Thank you for this great example of how discipline can impact success. Yes, we know it does as a result of the life experiences we have had but younger students often don't want to put effort or discipline into what they are doing. The girl you tutored once given a discipline strategy to follow became a successful student. The reason was she knew how to work through a problem in a manner that yielded results. We need to introduce more discipline into the development of our students' critical thinking skills. Gary Gary Gary Meers, Ed.D.
