Hi Dennis....don't know if you saw on another thread that I'm thinking of going back too! 27 years since my last class. Maybe finish my MA Ed. That way I could teach again when I retire!!!

Congratulations to you. I'm sure the principal will take one look at you and decide....no way, sir, you can do whatever you want!!!

As I've posted before, I started college classes at age 30. Days, right with 18 year olds. But at a smaller, private college in the Cincinnati area, so mixed in with traditional students, were non-traditional students (that's what they call 'us' Dennis and Steve). I discovered I loved the whole campus feel! I resumed this class schedule a few times after my kids went off to school. No degree yet but I find myself missing classes this time of year.

I just know if I ever get back to it, sitting in a class, twice or three times a week is what I need to learn. Online would be too hard on me - I'd see chores/laundry/ironing to do around here and wouldn't study. Remove me from this environment and I do very well. Keep me at home and I could see myself procrastinating!!!

But more power to ya Dennis!!! Discipline is the key I've heard to online classes.

Dennis, you'll do fine.... Don't be scared with all the younger students... there really is plenty of adults (back to school in 30's and 40's) in classrooms.

WTG!!! :clap:

Ive taken a number of classes at community colleges and adult-oriented schools and trust me, school isnt just for kids anymore. Education is ALWAYS a smart move and a great way to improve yourself - it doesnt matter if you are 15 or 50! :P
