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.
