this was a beneficial course.  I definitely appreciated some of the "background knowledge" presented in the course--like the regulatory environment, the amount of money for fines, etc.  It helps me stay committed to remaining alert regarding compliance and my part in it.  It adds understanding to the "rules" imposed by my school and helps me want to be a part of enforcing them.  I feel confident telling a coworker that they shouldn't violate the rules becuase they are there to protect us.

Education is far too valuable (and too expensive!) to approach the same way you would approach selling a pair of jeans to a customer.  We are talking about a "product" that will change a person's life, not just wear out or go out of style in a few months.  We need to approach every contact with this understanding, as well as a firm understanding of the needs of the school and how our role plays a huge part in the school's success.  These are not opposing forces, they are totally in agreement as long as schools maintain an ethical stance… >>>
