[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so at SH they're expecting every kid to have downloaded the Moss Hollow permission slip and bring it back on the first day of school? [/quote]

Yeah, I thought that was odd, too. If I didn't see the link someone posted here I would not know about the field trip. [/quote]

Not to get into a boundary-type discussion, but there are kids who don't have regular access to the person who is authorized to sign off on permission slips. Imagine a kid in foster care where the caseworker or judge may need to be consulted, a kid watched by a family friend while his parents are out of town, or someone whose parent is incarcerated or hospitalized and is staying with another relative. Giving kids plenty of opportunity to get paperwork filled out is helpful--expecting all students to have access to a computer and printer, and to check the website, is not likely.

I wonder if the school's goal is to get only the kids from the most on-the-ball families to the retreat.[/quote]How many students at SH have to face the challenges you listed?[/quote]
