[quote=Anonymous]There are two distinct issues which I want the people who are anti trip to differentiate in their arguments. 1) Cultural Norms/Personal Comfort level of child being so far away/different time zone. (I believe this is very individual--some parents don't allow sleepovers, let kids fly alone, go away, etc. Others are totally opposite spectrum). I also personally wish they were doing the trip when kids were older, but will accept it since it is more about my personal comfort level. 2) Money--Money can be an issue that is overcome. I also don't have 3k just lying around--in the case of my child I would have a parent go--so more like 6k. But I do have fundraising/volunteer energy. So say you work all fall and come up with half the needed money. The stated goal is that no child be left behind because of money.. So why not pitch in and give it a whirl in fundraising before giving up at the get go?[/quote]
