Your son is much too young to participate in this program. The People to People Organization, which has been operating for only 50 years, had no idea what they were doing when they invited your son. It is filled with generally incompetent people, who don't really know the appropriate age for travel, or whether or not they can handle children your son's age. And trust me, their staff definitely wouldn't know how to handle an 11 year old. And on top of that, England and France are VERY dangerous places.

Wouldn't do it. Nope nope. You definitely making the right decision in choosing to shelter your child from the dangers and vagaries of the world.
