[quote=Anonymous]Some parents at our Title 1 school want to raise money to send the 5th graders on a trip abroad. It would be a first for our school. Because our school is dual language Spanish/English, they are talking about a Latin American country or maybe Puerto Rico. Personally I feel that while this is a nice idea, it does not make sense for a school where the majority of students are below proficient in reading and math and we have so many other needs. Raising the money is going to be an enormous undertaking. Plus, the majority of our students have already traveled abroad to their parents' home country in Central America. On top of all this, I'm not sure 5th graders are even old enough to get that much out of a trip abroad. Seems more suited to middle school or (better) high school. Any advice from parents who have been there? [/quote]
