But you are right. Our experiences in Thailand apply to the US as well and not just to the cooperative education schools but to all aspects of enhancing learning outcomes where a little experience outside the classical academy would be useful. Occupation is one place, but so is training entrepreneurs and other high-end professionals. Much to discuss. Congratulations again on the launch of your blog. -Jim Mary,
