There is a flip side to this late issue. I'm an online teacher and most of my students work 40 hours a week already. They don't need to be shown how to responsible. So lets imagine my typical student: 1. 40 hour week 2. 2 or more children 3. 30+ years old He or she just started back to college after not going for many years. The first few classes are going to decide whether or not they stay in school or decide it's too much for them to bare. Personally, I feel that if we ease these students through the first few classes they might stick around and finish their degree programs. I know that for me once I gotten pretty far along with something then I'm probably going to finish it. Anyway, food for more thought. Steve
