This is the greatest idea ever. This is a great program. If I wasn t married, I would go. My mother did something similar and enjoyed the experience. However, we lived in Florida at the time. I think it would be a good idea, but I would need more information. I don t see how it would apply to people in the Elementary Education Program.
