[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jamestown was way too crowded and too long. There are so many closer colonial things to see and do in this area. It is nice when the PTA pays for the kids that can't afford it, but it is embarrassing for them to have to ask, or for their parents to have to ask. And then their parents can't chaperone because the PTA isn't going to pay for the parent. I don't think the kids remember a thing from there. I saw kids' faces fall when I told them how much the trip was going to cost, and even though I told them their parents could ask for help, they were worried. I was never a free lunch kid, but money was tight, and I would have not have wanted to go home and ask my mom for $70. I would have just said I didn't want to go and stayed at school and pretended not to care. [/quote] Not all schools go on these long or pricier field trips. Our school has a FARMs rate of about 6% and they don't go to Williamsburg, Jamestown, Medieval Times, etc.[/quote]
