While there is reason to be very optimistic, there still is every reason to acknowledge that enhanced performance resulting from some training about self-regulation is unlikely to work miracles. Most of what Web-Teaching deals with concerns teaching and learning beyond grade 7, with an emphasis on advanced high school, college, graduate education, and industrial training. When good jobs are involved, it is an easy matter to see how to improve self-regulation.
