[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents are not going to be allowed to sleep in the tent. Can you imagine the liability of 1 adult with 4 unrelated kids? Not happening. More than likely the overnights are over.[/quote]

Do you even have kids, or kids in school?
All parent volunteers (aka chaperones, classroom assistance, whatever) have to fill out volunteer forms, watch a "training" video, and have a background check.

And that would make you feel safe? Having a random parent sleep in the tent with your kid? Yes, I’m a parent and that’s why it disturbs me. I also volunteer regularly in the schools and I’ve taken the training, its a check the box video that’s not going to prevent any abusive behavior.[/quote]

So don't let your kid go on the trip.[/quote]

Random parents do not and will not sleep in the same tents as random kids. This goes against every sexual abuse prevention guideline on the planet.

I agree it's a bad idea but yes, random parent chaperones DO sleep in tents with kids not their own. This is how it worked for my kids' outdoor lab field trip. A parent was in every tent with kids not their own.

Do you think they have separate tents for each parent and their own kid? lol[/quote]

My DD was in a tent with a girl and her mom. I knew them but she was in fact in a tent with a random person. This way a LONG time ago so it may have changed. [/quote]

Exactly. APS should definitely rethink this. They are asking for trouble. [/quote]

We have seen some pretty awful behavior from APS parents - on here, on AEM, at School Board meetings, at PTA meetings, even in the Teams classes during the pandemic. I don't want these parents anywhere near my kids, especially not overnight when I am not there. [/quote]
