I read this article called, "Heading Back to College," which talked about the great increase of 'Baby boomer's' going back to college. Here are the answers to some questions asked me about it.
Really i personally don't care if older adults go back to school. If they want to, let them go. I mean, they are people and if they want to re-educate themselves, that's fine.
I don't think their would be any major draw backs if an older adult went back to college. Except for that they would not really have any friends of their age and it might hold them back from being with their family's.
From my observation the youth in the colleges today, you could say need to be straightened up in their ways of behavior. I think that older adults can have a huge impact on the youth because they guide them in the right direction, because of their experience.
Well to do what Mike Flynt is risky at his age. Fulfilling a dream is what drives and keeps us going when difficult times come. That was what drove Mike to play College football at age 59. It inspires me, that's for sure.
