[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 381601, member: 805"] I just went back and reread your initial post. I see this is your oldest and you have two little ones at home. That pretty much takes you out of the mix to go unless you have a friend who is willing to watch the little ones for you. I've thought about this a little more and believe that you should ask the question I asked you of the teacher. Is this a disciplinary measure for past behavior or a safety measure of anticipated behavior? As a parent, I would want to be assured that any "take aways" because of behavior were known ahead of time. Additionally, if your child has had consequences for his behavior, both at home or at school, additional consequences are not called for. It would seem to me that I would do everything in my power to get myself or my husband on that trip. If he's feeling a little down because of recent incidents at school, missing this trip will be devastating for him. He will think the teacher thinks he's a bad boy, and that's the last thing you want right now. Trust me, I've been there with mine when he was about your son's age. However you end up handling this, do your best to not let him get wind of any of it. Having mommy or daddy along on the pumpkin patch trip is a real treat for a little one, not a punishment (and either you or your husband can get a good gander at the rest of the class!).
