High School Exchange is NOT High School Musical: Managing Expectations
Expectations. We have them. The students have them. Their parents have them. The school has them. The exchange organization has them....
The Story
Since we started hosting international exchange students we get asked a lot of questions: Why? How? Are you insane? We also get questions from new host families trying to navigate the exchange year. So I decided to write about my experiences and maybe answer some questions, or even better encourage someone to open their homes and hearts (Eek! Cliche I know!) to a student or two.
