Good question Betty! I think the 9 month term is based on the university/college standard “year.” I have participated in some of the community learning days with the students, and I can see some queries coming up about the program. I think this is a very challenging year for this group, with the Ex Dir having resigned and volunteers picking up the slack. Interesting thought about legal and practical steps and consequences. The students pay for the 9 month program, and one has dropped out (not course related I don’t think), but another group had quite a melt down over choosing a project that they ended up discarding last month which takes them back to sq. one. Legal? Well, I would think unhappy students could be refunded a portion of their fees – unless a student with a lawyer parent or spouse comes along and feels really unhappy with this group, and then I guess anything could happen.
