Foreign Exchange Student

We are thinking about taking in an exchange student for the school year. I have mixed feelings about it. Do you think we should? Send us your thoughts.

NO, I don't, personal reasons

I'd say chances are real good you've already dated Mookahakakeeko's brother, or some other member of his family, so you should just settle down.

We are thinking now that we might take in a girl from Norway. We are going to go with a different Exchang service this time. It sounds a lot more organized and fun. We are meeting with the Regional cooridinator on Sunday night to discuss things. But we are leaning in that direction. We'll keep you updated.

yeah, get one who can "talk" english just like idiot. Plus, there can be good money in putting up exchange students. You don't think people do it for free do you?

Ok, I realize Allison's comments were offensive. But they do not reflect her father's or my opinions. And I can assure you we do not get paid to host a student. We will welcome her into our family and our home. We will share our traditions and culture with her. And of course we will provide room and board. We treat our students with the greatest respect and make every attempt for them to enjoy their stay. I am offfended the you would say, with total ignorance, that we will get paid. We do not receive compensation, other than the pleasure of making a new friend and learning about her country. Which is way better than money. Who are you? Leave your name or refrain from commenting please.

We have decided to host Amalie Knudsen from Norway. We are excited to meet her and welcome her into our home. She will be arriving in August. She shares the same birthday as Greg, 11-12.
