[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 543859, member: 11791"] Hmmm... I can only see two options off the top of my head... 1) Find a way for him to not go. Unfortunately, he wants to go... otherwise, you could conveniently have hi come down "sick" with something and "have to miss"... (we've used that one). Book a critical medical appointment for one of those three days (used that one too) Arrange for a grandparent to come down "seriously sick" and have to retrieve your son before the first night In any case, this is the first trip. What about next time? 2) start up your own private school and out-do them. <wink> Seriously... without the law on your side? and without a culture that supports/forces some degree of accommodation? I'm not sure what else you CAN do. If it was only a single overnight, you might be able to build him up to it by staying with grandparents etc. But... THREE? And only 4-5 teachers for 100 kids? Here, they "can't" use those kinds of ratios (either ministry guidelines, or because if something goes wrong, it's a LOT more than a hand-slap). Camping trips here for 60 kids in grade 6 or 7... takes 4 teachers and at least 6 parents. And yes - it's a problem for my HS difficult child too. (here, they have some idea when it comes to medications, sensory, all sorts of things... but NOT when it comes to fatigue) [/QUOTE]
