Young AmeriTowne

I was very interested when my son told me that his homeschool booster class would be participating in AmeriTown. He described it to me as his teacher had and it sounded very fun and educational. According to the school, the folks at Ameritown assured them they would help this small class get hooked up with another homeschool group or school to do the activity, which requires more people than they had. After receiving payment, AmeriTown apparently choose NOT to help, and instead left them with no assistance. In the end, after much work on their part, their only option was to be stuck attending with another school after our district’s Christmas break starts. Which means long ago holiday plans interfere and many kids, including mine, cannot go.
It sounds like an unreliable organization, who just wanted or small programs’ money and then drop them like a hot potato. Well, I guess they really are teaching our kids about the American economy: the little guys fend for themselves and get screwed by the system.

This maybe the most important review I ever write.
Young AmeriTowne is a place where us 5^th and 6^th graders to for a glimpse into the future.
I can remember the anticipation building up to my one and only visit – it was magnificent. I just wanted to go and I didn’t know why, but in retrospect, now I know why I did…
…for a glimpse into the future.
At Young AmeriTowne, every child obtains a position such as banker, bouncer, or crook and WE TAKE OVER THE TOWN for just one day. And it is… magical.

Funny how prophetic Young AmeriTowne actually is.
