[quote=Anonymous]My 9 year old daughter came home with a permission slip  last weekfor me to sign for a field trip to the Poconos this spring. Commercial bus picks them up BEFORE 6 a.m. and returns home at least as late as 7:30 p.m.  That is about 7 hours on the road for the day.  Don't know yet if bus has restroom as principal has not returned my call.

I am not an overly protective parent but both DH and I are inclined to not let her go.  Our rule of thumb is that we would not let the kids do something at school we would not do as a family.  Never would we put our kids thru such a long time in the car for such a trip.  We would stop and spend the night.

Chaperons will be there but they have to drive their own cars.

I just see a lot of waiting around for others and not being able to really enjoy the nature in such a big group.  They recently went to the state capital and it sounds like it was a pretty miserable experience for everyone.  No walking around, no seeing anything, just listening to a lady talk.

What do you think?
