My greatest concern is not the requirements or classes but the youth and their development. I am worried that some parents might turn to this as an alternative but not realize how much responsibility is passed to the parent. It takes a great deal of parental monitoring...many parents don't have the time to support their youth the way they might ideally wish to. Family life is very busy...if you have a stay at home parent, then great, but not many families have that luxury.
