Unlike the weak, the strong neither give up nor are driven by pain into rash or stupid behavior. They don't like pain any more than anyone else, but they are not willing to settle for short-term relief if it means reducing their options later. They don't rob Peter to pay Paul, they face reality now.

To counter the avoidance of intellectual challenge and responsibility, we must reduce the domination of certainty in education.
William Glasser

This is at the heart of all good education, where the teacher asks students to think and engages them in encouraging dialogues, constantly checking for understanding and growth.

If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve.
