Hi Richard, Well said about the support and focus displaced workers need while in school. I run a Survival Skills Center for a number of years where our student population was all displaced, addicted, and court involved individuals. We had to use the model you described to get started or they just continued to circle themselves in despair. Failure is easy to accomplish because it requires nothing of you place you can blame your failure on someone else. On the other hand success requires that you make decisions and as a result of those decisions you have choices. This is what life planning is all about. I wish you much success in your efforts. Your students will be enriched as a result of your support. Gary
