[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids have done these trips and it was a wonderful experience. My daughters were already international travelers, but it was DS’s first experience. And his best friend’s. The friend’s family couldn’t afford to take the whole family to Greece and Rome, but they had two years to pay to send their high schooler with EF. Without this program, he would have entered art school without any international travel. He was able to see firsthand many of the works of art and architecture that will influence his studies. Let’s not ruin chances for kids in our community to visit and learn from other countries. [/quote]

This.  And they make it so anyone can donate to a kids trip, family , church, etc. There is a payment plan and plenty of time to be able to pay for it.  It’s an opportunity.  Not everyone will want to participate, but I’m sure if there is a student that does who is making a good faith effort to go, others will help them find a way.[/quote]

In what dream world are you living in?  This is for the rich.[/quote]

And yet EF has plenty of non-rich kids go. They even offer more than one mil in scholarships each year.[/quote]

No idea what EF is but there are no scholarships.  Most people aren't going to donate to a trip like this.  I will gladly help with basic necessities but I'm not paying for a trip we could afford to send our kid to but don't as it's not a good use of money.

Its one thing if its a school sponsored trip, like band thats far less money but the same teachers are sponsoring this trip and there is nothing related to the class the teacher is teaching in it.[/quote]
