[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens if you and your child decide that attending Outdoor Education is not beneficial?  Can you keep your child at home and do an alternative activity (museum visit, hiking at Great Falls, etc.)?  Or will the school provide an alternative activity for children who don't attend Outdoor Education?   I'm from another culture.  So, I don't understand the significance of having my child spend a few nights in crappy living corridors with strangers.  Nor do I trust leaving unsupervised middle school children together.  If you declined your child from attending this, then what was the alternative?  If your child attended Outdoor Education, then was it really some life changing positive experience?  I envisioned lots of bad things happening in these type of situations.  So, I'm not sold on the fact that this will be a positive experience for my child.  Also, do you have to sign waivers that will exempt the school from any wrongdoings in case something happens to your child? [/quote]

Then keep your kid home.  The school will accommodate your ridiculous fear-based request.

When was the last time some child was harmed during OE? [/quote]

Like mcps would tell you.
Like they told you that your child's teacher was a pedofile.
Idiot parents like you are what perverts love.[/quote]
