[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much was the China trip going to cost?[/quote]

Wasn't it roughly $3500 per kid or adult?  With the school guaranteeing access to all students, but not paying for parents (with good reason - parents were discouraged because it was harder for the kids to fully immerse in the language and culture with parent speaking English to them whenever together).  We were hoping to get parents in our kid's grade to agree to have more of a parallel parent trip where we still went together, but gave the kids much more time on their own (including their home-stays), but where we regularly checked in so we didn't feel like we didn't know how they were doing.  And a few touristy things would be all done together, with parents doing their own cultural immersion while the kids were on home-stay.

That was our dream, and maybe we'll still try to organize something like that (our kids aren't in 5th grade for a few years).  The home-stay will be the tricky part, but I really hope we can still set it up.[/quote]
