[quote=Anonymous]DD is attending YY in a lower grade and although we could probably afford it, I would not let her go for a trip to China as a 10 y.o. It's just too young, not only to remember and enjoy the cultural aspect of the trip but also to travel "by themselves". School is great, teachers are great but what if something goes wrong, what if one student gets sick or injured? I can't even imagine an hospital stay there for an adult, let alone for a kid. In theory, great idea -- In practice. Not so much. Nothing to do with the "bitching and whining of a few parents who: don't want to make any financial sacrifices or hard choices, never really supported the language immersion and global education that is now smacking them in the head". Just a different understanding of our roles as parents. [/quote]
