One can not inculcate a habit of discipline among students n1ess he is himself true, sincere and disciplined. It requires a lot of tolerance, perserverance and patience. The strategy of planning the lesson, preparation, presentation, and explanation affects much more the teaching aptitude and personality of a teacher.
