“Thats something we will have you do” sounds like something you’d say to an au pair not an exchange student

For many Europeans, 6:30 pm is too early to have dinner. How do you do it if the student doesn't want to eat or simply can't because he's not hungry?

I wholeheartedly disagree. The first way seems so much more stress free

The Europeans probably know how to set a table better than you, we actually use cutlery.

ive done a bunch of school exchanges as a kid and the second one would have absolutely terrified me why are you yelling at me and telling me when to talk to my family

Ok we need a 3rd option because that second one was too much to take in at once and felt like receiving orders.

Girl the second one would make me start stressing. Ur piling on tons of info at once, as well as heavily implying that the kids can/should only call their real family at certain times?

Yeah I dont think being “direct” with someone elses kid is the best move. Safety rules sure. But this feels….cold and uncomfortable.

I was a host student / lived with a host my family for my last two years of high school. The 1st approach is 1000x better

My host mom was like the first and it was awesome because I felt she respected my time, privacy, and that I was an adult
