What do you think about a student exchange program within the US?

Asked by JLeslie (65445points) August 21st, 2013

Similar to international student exchanges, but this would be domestic. The student can go to a different region of the US for a few months. It might be a student who lives in a rural area going to a large city or vice versa. Could be someone from the northeast trying out the deep south. Basically, anything is up for grabs that would be a new experience.

Would it help a new generation of people in the US be more open? Be more understanding of problems around the country and help them become adults with a better understanding of the different challenges and positives things around the country? Would the students enjoy it? Do you think it is a good idea? Would you want your kids to do it?

If you like the idea would you want it to be a summer program or a semester in school? What grade do you think is best?

If you have already heard if such a program I am interested in knowing about it.

Thanks.
