>>The second complaint is the large dropout rate in on-line education. That
is like saying that chocolate ice cream has no value to people who like
vanilla. Students who drop out are making a choice, oftentimes because of
their own lack of motivation and self-discipline.

It is obvious that students are making a choice. But why would you
attribute it to their lack of motivation and self-discipline? I would be
very interested in knowing why students drop out of distance courses. Does
anyone out there have some data to explain why?
