[quote=Anonymous][quote]I can't believe this topic is generating 24 pages of talk. Here's my take: There will always be kids in every class at YY who will not take the trip, whether for financial, personal, whatever reasons. It's a public school, after all. So if you don't want to go or send your kid without a parent, or waste that much vacation, just DON'T GO! Find that one other kid or 10 other kids that aren't going and make it work for your families. Take the kids to NYC for the day, or pull them out to go to the movies, or whatever. The more you stress about it, the worse it will be. Kids are resilient and all of us grew up just fine, even though we didn't have the same advantages as our friends. Seriously, it will be okay.
