26. The best discipline: self-discipline


We struggle to make Pierre aware that the subject of foreign-language is practical, not only theoretical.


History (I love history) is worth to study, but is "useless". Yet we need to learn history, to be critical with present and build up present.


Pierre is aware that he is the main engine, the protagonist of the process of learning/acquiring. He looks for ways to learn more and more and more. Help him get firm these principles, and have him working in the class: he'll be less disruptive and more active. Help him at the individual tutorial. I have mainly taught at single-sex institutions. I personally prefer so. I also think that a male teacher suits talking with a male kid.
