[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does no one ever have parents drive anymore? I'm 30 and every field trip I ever went on had parents drive kids in their vans and chaperone. [/quote] Liability. That would never happen today. [/quote] We used to do this at our MCPS school, but not in the past couple of years. It did keep costs down, parent drivers were required to sign a form that they had a certain amount of insurance on their car, and off we went. But even though it kept costs down and I do have a tight budget, it always felt a little weird to me to drive around with a stranger’s kid or three. I imagine some parents who couldn’t drive/ come on the trip might have felt quite uncomfortable having their kids ride around with strangers. I don’t think you would neeed to be a helicopter parent to be concerned. Busses, charter or school, are way better.[/quote]
