+1. You seem obnoxious and entitled, OP.

1. You misrepresented the trip. They didn’t take a bunch of kids to NYC solely to go to Dave and Busters. No one believes that. They spent more than 30 minutes at the museum and saw other sights.

2. If you felt strongly that the trip should have included certain activities, you should have reviewed the agenda before your DC attended and voiced your concerns then. I understand wanting your DC to see a broadway show, but there could be very valid reason why that wasn’t possible. However, you don’t know that because, instead of discussing it with the school before the trip, you’re complaining about it on an anonymous message board after

Reading the reaction of some parents, no wonder OP prefers to comment on a mediocre field trip on DCUM. Honestly, if someone thinks the trip was not worth it, that is totally fine. I had never heard that a field trip agenda was on the same level as the Ten Commandments and could not be commented on.

No one is saying OP can't have an opinion, and clearly there were text groups that agreed within the school. It is the way OP went about sharing this opinion like the Maret troll with a moral of information that led to people jumping on her now.

What is the correct way to complain about a field trip you don’t like? Not sure what is the problem about complaining about a trip downgrade when the a broadway play was removed from the agenda.

🤦‍♀️ people have told you so many times. Have a conversation with the admin, complain to your friends, come here and rant about it, but coming here and playing coy like all you know is your kid was taken to Jersey for Dave & Busters when you know there was a full educational portion... you are killing your credibility and making yourself look like an a**hat...

You are going to pull a kid from a full learning experience about immigration if they don't top it off with a broadway play? Seems a bit excessive...

Calling this a learning experience is too generous. Those looked like very brief pit stops on the way to Dave and Busters. Certainly there is no point in bussing kids to NYC and staying overnight for just those pit stops which are quite trivial.

Ellis Island and the statue of Liberty are trivial now?! What a lune...

Yes they are trivial when you live in Washington DC. We have more significant monuments to visit than that. Also how much time exactly was spent on Ellis Island???? What about the in-person trip was more educational than a classroom discussion?

Exactly! Ellis Island was totally a pitstop.

Is OP just sock puppeting now, there is now way there are that many daft parents at Maret... like I get you are upset broadway got pulled, but to shit on the Statue of Liberty... people come from all over the world to see it and your kid was lucky they go to a school that takes them!

Well, yes. There are many daft parents at Maret.

Right. So you think the expense of bussing kids to NYC and staying overnight just to see a monument, while missing two days of school, was justified?

Was school happening for their class while they were away?

Do you seriously think missing two days of middle school is so critical?

The field trip agenda probably barely got approved. There are reasons to take a field trip to NYC but none of them happened on this trip.

To see Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty?! Yes! It is an emoji it is so iconic🗽

Real basic tourist stuff. Next you are going to tell me they ate street food and took the subway. Was this trip also planned by a middle school student?

So your answers are “no, they didn’t miss school” and “no, two days of middle school don’t matter “

Got it.

Ellis Island and Tenement museum are both fantastic. I would argue Broadway play, while also great, is more touristy. But they are tourists so who cares.
