[quote=Anonymous]I believe that a third issue is: (3) Timing and educational value of a tourist trip while school is in session. Personally, I would be more supportive of either a tourist trip during the summer or at least partly during spring break. Or I would be more supportive of a trip that was a cultural exchange, actually attending a school in China with Chinese students. But just as I would not be supportive of an extended tourist trip in the U.S. during school time (2 weeks off from school to see the Statue of Liberty, Boston Freedom Trail, and Philadelphia Betsy Ross House), I do not see the educational priority for a tourist trip that takes at least 10 of the 180 educational days in a year. But of course, can't say this to the YY adminstrators. Sigh. [/quote]
