Bret - Thanks for your comment. Believe it or not, There is no pain - just
a faculty facing some harsh realities, both with the students we now face
and the trends coming through the pipeline. The public schools have been
dealing with the effects of the cocaine babies and the lack of family
structure for the last several years. We were told that we at the Tech
school level would see the first wave in adult education. We believe that
is what is happening and it concerns us that the trend is toward teaching
through monitors and computers and less contact with an instructor. Our
concern is - will hese students survive?
