[quote=Anonymous]I think there's a big difference between riding a public bus, at a set time with having done so with parents before, and sending your kids on a tour of China for two weeks. I've also no doubt that a 10 year old is "capable of" going to China on a class trip. The question is, why? Is it worth is to spend $3500++ for such a trip in those years, is it worth it to divide the class into haves and have-nots, is it the best use of classroom time? Is this the most rational format for such a trip? I'm also certain there's no clear answer these questions; each of us have to answer them for ourselves and our kids. [/quote]
