[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you're pulling your child from a school because [b]it offered a trip to China for kids who have been studying Chinese for 5 years. [/b]Well there you go. It's your right.
I guess I don't see what all the fuss is about. Parents need to make decisions based on what they see is right for their child. Some kids will be able to handle this trip and perhaps some won't. The school and parents (or rather some parents) are committed to fundraising for up to 75% of the cost for kids whose parents will commit to help. So why not leave it at that and quit getting hysterical because the school offered the opportunity?? I'm sure it will be offered again.
(By the way, can you name a Chinese-speaking country that's closer to the US than China/Asia??)[/quote]

ITA.  What's so unreasonable about giving kids the opportunity to visit a country whose language and culture, they've been studying for 5 years.  The trip isn't mandatory and everyone is willing to fundraise.  If you don't want to send your kid for whatever reason, that's fine but stop raining on everyone else's trip.[/quote]
