Recent field trip to New York City

[Anonymous]

Anyone else notice how OP is some self-applauding clown. Look at the bottom of page 10 and top of 11. It looks like the same poster is boosting and replying to themselves! Hysterical.

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?

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?

Did you want them to eat at Carbone, stay at the Plaza Hotel, ride around in Uber Blacks, and enjoy caviar and cocktails on a rooftop overlooking the city?

I guess street food, the Statue of Liberty, and the subway aren’t good enough for your middle school aged Larlo with 3 brain cells.

My kid has too many brain cells to have their time wasted by this itinerary. If you are going to visit NYC at least do something worthwhile.

Ellis Island, the Tenement Museum, the Statue of Liberty, and breaking out of the DC bubble to see a new city and new environment is not a waste of time whatsoever. You’re just elitist and self-righteous. Didn’t expect anything different from a Maret parent TBH.

We live in DC so the majority of these kids have probably been to NYC at least a dozen times already. There are plenty of reasons to visit NYC but none of them happened on this trip. My own kids go a few times a year with a much more interesting itinerary.

Do tell us what your “much more interesting itinerary” entails. Your hesitation to share what it is shows your underlying insecurity.

The Met and MoMA. Central Park. Meetings/events at NYU / Columbia. US Open in Flushing. Rockefeller Center / NBC Studios. New York Fed Museum / NYSE / Financial instutution site visits / Museum of American Finance. A full list would be pretty long.

Your kids must hate you. None of this would be of any interest to middle schoolers, except for the Met/MoMA and Central Park. The museums the school took them to actually had content that was relevant to history classwork. No middle schoolers will enjoy a Goldman Sachs site visit or meetings at universities.

You’re so off-base it’s hysterical.

That is what NYC is known for. It is the financial capital of the world. That is actually the biggest reason to visit NYC.

Well, in this thread you can just read comments from parents. When you actually ask the kids it’s another story. My child told me that most of their friends didn’t enjoy the trip to NYC. That’s unfortunate.
