Answer 1

It’s not easy , even desperate .
“We have many children left to place :40 out of 75,” said Straub , who works for a Paris-based foreign ? exchange programme called LEC. When exchange programmes started 50 years ago , family life was more acmodating . For one thing , more mothers stayed home .
But now , increasing numbers of women work outside the home . Exchange-student programmes have struggled in recent years to sign up host families for the 30,000 teenagers who annually e from abroad to spend and academic year in the United States , as well as the thousands more who participate in summer programmes .
School systems in many parts of the US, unhappy about accepting non-taxpaying students , have also strictly limited the number of exchange students they accept . At the same time , the idea of hosting foreign students is being less exotic.
In searching for host families , who usually receive no pay , exchange programmes are increasingly broadening heir appeals to include everyone from young couples to retirees .
“We are open to many different types of families,” said Vickie Weiner , eastern regional director for ASSE, a 25- year ?old programme that sends about 30,000 teen-agers on academic ?year exchange programmes worldwide .
For elderly people , exchange students “keep us young ?they really do ,” said Jean Foster , who is hosting 16-year ?old Nina Porst from Denmark .
