[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we do agree to the trip I plan to go with my child because I don't think there is any other logical choice.  The reason I would go is to make sure my DC is supported and getting the most out of it. I have to admit that I am not thrilled that some of the kids will not have parents with them because the "parenting" will then fall on the shoulders of the parents who do attend. It isn't like those kids will be less needy of adult guidance. It will probably end of being quite the contrary. Plus, it isn't like there is anything kid-centered on the itinerary. It is mainly tourist attractions, historical venues and a few visits to schools. They will spend a lot of time in places where there will be busloads of adult and senior-age tourists and they will be expected to behave as such the whole time. Having been through things like this myself, it is going to be a lot of work for all of the kids without very many options for them to be able to act like kids or blow off steam. [/quote]

Yes. Nothing kid-centered--hanging out with other school children, staying with a family with a kid their age, riding trains, touring wide-open spaces, nothing. You're a moron. We'll be waiting with baited breath to see if you agree to go too! [/quote]
