Colette, Very true. With so much adjustment to the career college arena, often with chaos in the backside of their lives, students need all we can do to assist them in achieving their career goals. To arrive at a class unprepared is just plain unsatisfactory, with few exceptions. Our instructional role requires the time and effort in the planning of each day -- delivered with an interesting and upbeat tone, and with passion and enthusiasm. In my opinion, that's the least we can do. Barry Westling
