[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The least palatable aspect is that it is during the school year. Anyone not attending the trip remains in class while a handful of classmates get to attend. Less than a third of the students are able to go, which isn't surprising given the timing and expense. 
It is also horribly distasteful that the 10 parents going on the trip forced the PA to change the date of the auction to work around the trip schedule. After the fit they threw 4 or 5 months after the date was announced I expect them to be first in line to buy tickets and spend lots of money to benefit the school. But I wonder how much they will be able to contribute to that fundraiser after they shell out $7,000 on a vacation with their child. I'm not on the auction planning committee but maybe I'll join so that I can be justified in telling them all to go to hell when they don't even show up.[/quote]

How childish, misinformed and inappropriate. What's distasteful is your slandering parents who are involved and engaged and trying to support their children, their children's classmates and this school -- many of them from the very beginning. Not sure why folks want to continue spinning these myths and half truths about this trip. If you don't want your child to go---- don't go.  If you want to make sure all who want to go can go --- fundraise or donate.  Otherwise mind your own business, get a life or at least keep your nastiness to yourself. I presume it's just the time we live in. I find that sad and .......extremely distasteful.  [/quote]
