Others want to givetheir children the skills they'll need to compete globally.      "There is a huge amount of interest in spending time abroad at all stages of life and increasingly, as afamily with children," said Maya Frost, author of "The New Global student…". She knows American families in every corner of the globe who have made that choice.      "There's so much rnore to education than school," said Tessa Hill, who recently returned to her Houston-area home, after driving her family across North and Central America and Europe in a motor home for 13 months. "World traveI is an education in people, cultures, language, travel skills, street smarts and in how lucky we are to live in the United States."      When Hill and her husband began considering extended global travel, their middle child, Charles,13, was surprised. "My first reaction was well, are we really going to do this?'"      Charles said. "But it did sound like great fun." Charles said missing his friends was the hardest part. He stayed in touch via e-mail and made some new friends along the way, playing soccer with kids in France andlearning about rugby from youths in Ireland.      "I'd definitely recommend this to other kids." Charles said. "It was such a great opportunity to see differentcountries and learn geography a different way."      To make re-entry smoother, most school officials prefer that families work out an educational plan beforethey leave town.     "It sounds out-of-date, but it really opens up your mind and your eyes to the world," said Robbin Goodman, 17, a senior student who spent his junior year skateboarding across Beijing, China, when he wasn't studying Chinese history and other core subjects.      Had he not already taken a school-sponsored spring break trip with his mom to China in 2007, Robbin said he probably would not have been able to convince his parents to let him go alone for a year. "I knew I would learn Chinese and all that, but my goal was to have a great time," Robbin said.      "The biggest problem for those seriously considering.going abroad is dealing with those who are againstthe idea," said Frost.      "They gain the ability to take risks and to have confidence in themselves," said Liz Pearlstein, founder of a global education consulting firm "When we came home from London, my daughter, who had been painfullyshy before we left, said 'Mom, now I know there's nothing I can't do. '"     No one knows exactly how many American families are choosing the global education path, but global education consultants say a growing number of parents are traveling for a year or more with their children.                             Title: A real global 1.______: traveling abroad with kids for a year                                               Travelers' experiences and feelings Carla Fisher ● Courage is needed to take the 2.______ travel for there are different voices. ● It is encouraging to hear more parents make such a similar    3.______.  Tessa Hill and Charles ● World travel can help people learn more about cultures, languages    and travel skills, etc. ● Charles made new friends along his way and 4.______ his friends back home.
