<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Here in Gardner we have only the three levels of Adult Basic Education classes - no ESOL. Most of our students are under the age of twenty-five and the problem I see mostly is their lack of responsibility. They live for the day - no planning ahead! Car problems, money problems and of course no money to get the car fixed. If they get a job they don't take into consideration the hours of our program. Their goal might be to pass the GED test but they're mightily distracted along the way.</FONT></P>
