Well, I HOPE that is in exchange for free/discounted lessons. One of the studios here needed a custodian, and they offered barter of one class a week in exchange for 1 cleaning session. I would have totally gone for the arrangement, except I didn't know if my academic night classes would conflict with their custodial needs next session.

I had criticisms of both families (as I'm sure they would have of mine), and Jehan definitely had the more decadent/indulgent lifestyle. It's a wonder that her daughter isn't spoiled like other kids I've seen on that show, but she seems *very* well-tempered, and very smart.

I thought it was odd that the farm wife gave up her pigs after the show. I wonder if she decided it was OK to depend on her husband's income, instead of bringing in her own?
