[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can opt out, but it isn't an excused absence and your child will probably face some social fallout from peers.

This is a load of BS!  Outdoor Education isn't all that serious and some students  think it's lame.  Don't be over dramatic.  [/quote]

Some students think it's lame because they don't like being separated from their electronic devices and their own bed. Those kids are lame and immature.
Outdoor ed is a great experience. 
It also helps the teachers get to know the kids better. If your kid misses this he/she misses a lot and will feel disconnected from the school community.

Lady - you might be from another culture but you are in this one now and your child is being raised in this one. Let the kid go!!

Also - don't spend too much time glorifying your culture. You KNOW that your culture has some serious issues - spend some time remembering that. It will help your perspective in assimilating into aspects of this one.

After this experience please also sign your kid up for a week of single sex summer camp doing fun things out in the woods for next summer. It's one of the best things in our culture to participate in at this age. It's fun, it teaches independence and resourcefulness and social skills - and it's fun.[/quote]
