Discussion always leads us somewhere new, skydust, so what's happening on this thread here is just perfect.
Pat, I agree with your approach. I think that in going in to a school it would make more sense to start with more "sensible" topics likes time management before jumping into something like the LoA.
But I do see an issue popping here on this thread, which is whether people should be given help if they feel they don't need it. I honestly feel that sometimes the answer to this question is Yes. If a person's never been exposed to the other side in a meaningful way, sure, go ahead and help them. You can't want something if you don't know what it's about. At the same time, I wouldn't want to keep beating someone over the head with the same spiel if they'd already gone and tried the thing and didn't like it.
