Januarius, Thank you for your comments. I have also found "non-traditional" students to be more receptive to online courses and I would add the following hypothesis to your observations. Adults are challenged in the workplace to perform, which is not the case in many of our high schools. I submit that working adults who want to advance are more accustomed to taking on responsibility for their behaviors, whereas many recent high school graduates have not internalized that. Most recent high school, graduates are accustomed to other people being responsible for their lives, especially parents. This is reinforced by a public school system no longer teaches responsibility and accountability and "spoon feeds" its charges. While recognizing my hypothesis makes a general statement, I suspect it is an additional contributing variable to your observations. Dr. Robert Roehrich
