Vintage students:

In a recent previous life I had the task of 1 on 1 instructing `Problem children` to maintain course standards.
Anybody that believes that a 30+ year old is as receptive as a 20 year old is misguided.
Sadly I found that the "system" was always partially at fault. That said a young monkey will see and do, an old one will see and try to understand. Admirable, but not always sucessfull.
The comments regarding what is at stake are fair ones, but that alone will not make you better then a young, intelligent and motivated individual, and definately no better then a 25 year old streetwise ex tradesman who knows how to behave. (read that as "play the game")
