[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just went and chaperoned and oh my gosh those kids had so much fun.  I didn’t sleep at all but I knew it going in.  And it was worth it to see them all laughing and running around in outside and trying things some of them had never done before.  I mean, we camp and take our kids hiking and enjoy the great outdoors as a family.  But clearly for some of these kids it was an eye opening experience.  I really am glad our elementary does this.  If you are weirdly against it, your kid just goes home instead of spending the night.  It’s not the end of the world.   And if you are uncomfortable it’s probably an experience that will be good for your child to experience new things that you aren’t willing to do.   [/quote]

Wow this is so tone deaf. You really don't know the problems that have occurred at overnights do you? [/quote]

Yeah, I really don't understand why they continue to do it.[/quote]

Everyone knows or can sure as hell guess what happened at the overnight that was a problem.  You put systems in place to prevent this.  APS now has a ratio of background-checked overnight chaperones required and the trip won't run without this.  If the world got canceled for every bad thing that happened, well you'd just hide in your basement.  Which some people do but others of us don't think that's a way to live.  If you don't want to send your kid, don't send your kid.  Easy decision.[/quote]
