I am a teacher and I am going on tour in 08, I have already made the decsion that if any kid is coming with me it will only be my kid.

Sadly in this day and age I simply don't feel that it is prudent to take kids along.
If a parent wants to come along and bring their kid I may consider it but it sure wouldn't be optimal.
Back on subject (sorry for the sidetrack) I haven't read the book but I think I will look for it and see how it is.
