[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every year this comes up.  I am pretty sure that in most cases its the parents who talk the kid out of going when in fact the kid really wants to go.

Stay the hell out of it mom.[/quote]
Not every child is dying to go!  Not every child is thrill about this and not every child has a good experience either.  If a child doesn't want to go, then parents should take their feelings into consideration.  Parents have every right to be involve with matters that concern their children.   [b]Any normal parent will  have concerns about their child spending the night with people they don't know. [/b][/quote]

Outdoor Ed is a school-sponsored field trip. Typical parents don't generally have concerns about their typical children going on a school-sponsored field trip. [/quote]

Well after the Vigna case and the case at Richard Montgomery last year where the Security Team leader was sexually involved with a student, it's reasonable that parents might have concerns about their kids attending an overnight MCPS sponsored field trip.  [/quote]

If you don't want your kid to go on Outdoor Ed, then don't sign the permission slip. There, done.

But if you think that it's dangerous for kids to go on Outdoor Ed, then I'm going to expect you to provide data -- or at least anecdotes -- specific to Outdoor Ed. None of the stuff you've brought up is related to Outdoor Ed. [/quote]
