What a Character! Character-Building for Home Learners

This week, Paul Tough of the New York Times wrote an article called, “What if the Secret to Success is Failure?” He references the work of Martin Seligman and Christopher Peterson, psychologists who have studied character traits and how they shape a person’s success in life. I heartily agree with his line of questioning. What if we don’t learn best by sailing down the smooth path of life?

There are a few different attitudes that people take when it comes to filing their tax returns.
