Hints for Success in School: A Practical Guide for Students

"Joseph Deely's Hints for Success are practical, easy to understand, and get right to the point. All students (and teachers and parents too) can look through these hints to find ones that can help them. If you're already successful in school, read through the hints and pat yourself on the back when you recognize what you're doing right. I'll use Joe's hints to help students improve their goal setting and self-affirmation skills."
