[quote=Anonymous]I would relax and let your DC enjoy what will be a fun and enjoyable trip. Does your kid push the envelope and get in trouble regularly? If not, then I would trust them to behave on this trip. Have a talk with them before the trip about the expectations. Make sure to include the fact that it would pretty shitty of your child (or anyone else) to put a teacher in a terrible position of having to discipline them about behavior that, as high school students, they know isn't allowed on school trips (even if they "forget", they know they are doing something wrong...). Also point out the fact that all the rules that apply at school will apply on this trip and doing something stupid would not be worth the trouble.

Also, why do you think there will be any looking the other way on the part of the teachers? In my experience with school trips my kids have taken overseas (and domestic), the school is quite vocal about the expectations of how the kids will behave. Quite frankly, teachers do not want to deal with your misbehaving kids. There have been cases of kids being sent home and disciplined for behavior issues. Why wouldn't you expect the same for this trip. Also, I assume the school will have a meeting with parents before the trip to discuss details and expectations. Ask questions at the meeting that will settle your nerves. [/quote]
