<p>DH coaches MUN at his school - it’s a wonderful activity. I’ve gone along to national conferences as a chaperone, and it’s great fun to watch. There’s the usual boy/girl intrigue, except often they don’t know each other’s names, just countries…so you’ll be walking in the hotel corridor, and a boy will yell, “Hey, Philippines!” And some kids take it VERY seriously, with the briefcase, suit, the whole 9 yards. The conferences are usually run by a college group (they use it as a fundraiser for their own team) - and, sorry to say, those kids can be absolutely insufferable. Think 19-year-olds who don’t hope, they <em>know</em>, they’re going to be president some day. A little power is a dangerous thing.</p>
