I think Eric's on to something here.  I think the flip side of 
understanding that it takes time for people to learn things and that 
people have to _want_ to learn before they will is to understand that if 
somebody doesn't want to, they won't.  And cut your losses.  Seems to me 
this can be done while upholding everyone's dignity, too.
