I don't know what you mean, but it sounds nice. Still, the student can have multiple "supports" or opportunities yet not be motivated, nor well-prepared, and without knowing how to learn, will continue to flounder.

" It's clearly up to you teachers to teach me and if you haven't then you have failed." Rock on! Gary
