>Hello Jackie! I would like to tell you that it is so
true that students feel like that. Because I am
experiencing this with some of the students at my
school. You want leadership from students because it
is very important for involvement and it brings a good
reflection upon the adult education program itself. I
can relate to the question you asked. The students
feel like once they have accomplished the goal, there
becomes no need for further involvement. I want to
give back to the adult education program instead of
eliminating  the M.O.M.S. support group. Their were a
lot of encounterments with students that wanted things
to be done, but their was no consistency in the
participation. I would like to say involvement in
students is a good thing and it ends up with a good
result. Also, the adult education has the benefit from
the student involvement. Thanks, Benika
