Too Old For School

[Millie]

You might consider contacting someone in the special education deparment of a teaching college. There may be an expert who could advise you.

The last time I went back to grad school (San Diego State, Instructional Technology) I was over 50 and started the program as the next to oldest student in the program. The "OLD" guy bailed leaving me as the oldest. I got a perfect 4.0 GPA and was invited to do a PhD (declined, I just needed the wall paper for a job change within my lab.)

OK, I didn't have all the challenges in question here but... don't let age be the reason for not having a go at it. By law, the school can not discriminate due to age (and a bunch of other things.) GIVE IT A TRY, what is the big deal if it doesn't work out or is difficult? You never know how positive the outcome could be if you don't try.

Go ahead, (dare I say it?) give it the old coillege try!!!
