   Well like I mentioned, my daughter IS only 3, so I don't have to worry about school yet, but I'm guessing by the # of replies I've gotten, there aren't many people who travel with toddlers!!!! Guess maybe I'm a little of my rocker!

    Hi there! Anyone have any idea if you can challenge the classroom portion of the EMT class in Massachusetts? I'm more than willing and eager to do the field work, but I can't stand the idea of sitting in class for 3 months talking about normal hea...
