Absolutely awesome. There is a similar program in operation at Baldwin County High School in Bay Minette, AL. I am all for this idea as a staple in all public high schools. The teacher is absolutely correct in stating that it is a win-win situation for everyone--parents can continue their professional calling while having their own children close by, students are getting theory in conjunction with application which is so important in the early care field (I, myself, have over nine years experience in early childhood education and an AAS degree in said field!), and the young children benfit moreover, getting one on one care and attention, knowing that mom or dad is also near by and can visit during lunch or planning periods. Smart, smart, smart!
