That's too long imo. - Will Hunting Sep 21, 12:00 1
- they could lie and say it's like... whatever. an ill relative. but I think esp this early in the school year it doesn't help to set kids up for succes - fabulous squad Sep 21, 12:08
what Andie said, also cross cultural experiences can be very educational -- nm - crash davis Sep 21, 11:57

it really depends on the kids. i think smart kids at that age could do it. -- nm - Andie Sep 21, 11:55 3
- And it depends on what they're doing over there. It COULD be a great educational experience if they're not just laying around. -- nm - Ender Sep 21, 11:57 2
  - Precisely. Done properly, I'm all about real-world education. - ML Sep 21, 11:58 1
    - But there's a good argument for doing that when they're not in class learning other stuff. -- nm - spamlet Sep 21, 12:11
