From: <millard@goldfieldaccess.net>

For some time now I have been posting messages on various listservs about adult literacy from an adult learners perspective. I have said a lot of things about adult literacy through the years and some of these things are being said again in this discussion. Many adult learners would like to say how they feel about their programs and what's going on in adult literacy, but they are not yet comfortable about expressing themselves using a computer. That's why we need advanced training and we also need the VALUE’s leadership training. In the last few days I have heard some of the people from the literacy field talking about adult literacy in a way I have never heard them talk before. It’s almost as though you are starting to see adult literacy through the eyes of the adult learner. As you think about what you have said in your postings in this discussion, think about whose eyes you are seeing adult literacy through. Some good things can come out of all of this discussion.

Archie is saying what some of us adult learners have been say. I think that if you really listen to the adult learners that are in this discussion some things can help.
