[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 301601, member: 1169"] I would never allow my children to attend an overnight field trip. It is a buffet for bullies. Thankfully our school district stopped having the overnights the year prior to mine being old enough to go. They now do four day trips in one week to accomplish the same thing. Teachers don't seem to be able to provide enough supervision during the school day to stop bullying -- now they want to be trusted with our children overnight??? I transferred mid-year as a 6th grader and got to my new school a few weeks after their overnight. The teachers told my mom it was such a shame that I missed it. But I spoke with the kids, the ones who were different, they said it was a terrifying trip. The class was completely divided between the bullies and their pack and the others. So, given my intense feelings about the inappropriateness of these types of trips, I would say 100% go with as you are the only one with a 100% investment in keeping your child safe. [/QUOTE]
