[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been on every field trip my kids had. Never lost a kid. Even out of state. Don't rob your kid of an adventure.  [/quote]

If I or DH were allowed to go on every field trip we would.

I'm don't have any concern about my kid missing out on an adventure.  She's already told me that she's only interested in 1 of the field trips they mentioned.  The other two sound boring (her words).

I'm a pretty adventurous mom, so my kids get more real-life experience/field trips with me then they ever will at school.  We backpack, car camp, and hike a ton (lucky to encounter a lot of wildlife this summer - snakes, deer up in our camp, several bears right off the trail).  They've rock scrambled down to waterfalls.  They indoor rock climb, kayak, race in triathlons.  We do cultural things as well, art museums, tour historical locations, etc.  Recently took a long road trip coloring pictures of each state's flag and taking photos with them at the welcome centers, then reading about facts for each state (typical and cool facts that I printed off before the trip).  At our destination, we stayed on a working farm, went backpacking/hiking, blah, blah blah....you get the picture.

My kids aren't lacking in adventure.  They don't miss out on doing these things with their friends either because we have friends come along on these outings all of the time.  They also go by themselves with friends I trust so we're not always around.

So, I have no concern about them missing out on anything.  All about safety and untrustworthy parent chaperones.[/quote]
