Larry et al -

I guess I think we sometimes look at fail, failing, failure as
interchangeable - to 'not succeed' indicates work/progress of some kind. to
fail is to not succeed, failing is deteriorating and failure is - well, you
know.

I don't have kids that don't come to class - I don't have kids that don't do
the work, I don't have kids that are just put there.... if something is
chronic I always assume that there is an underlying cause, the behavior is
the symptom, not the disease -

"There are no mistakes, only things you do and things you don't do." That
is my gem of the day - got it while watching a movie during my workout
yesterday - I may not agree with it tomorrow - but it got me through my 7th
mile yesterday -
