I'm not trying to discourage advocacy, but for those of you new to the trenches this battle for funding for adult ed ESL has been going on for decades. What would be interesting would be to hear from advocates who could share with us what has worked for them to get funding. Terry Pruett-Said ESL teacher Michigan
