Now this sounds like a really good idea. I wish more schools would do
something like this. Really, you don't know what family go through until
you have been down their road. I learned this at age 18 when I was a camp
counselor and had to ride heard on ten kids with disablities 24-7, with 3
hrs breaks now and then. It was the best training I had in parenting.
That was loooooooonnnggg ago. 1957!!!
