[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else feel bad for the poor teacher that was the victim of OP's experiment? She probably waited to call you because they were frantically looking for your kid and hoping he would turn up. I'm skeptical that they didn't notice that your kid was missing for so long; really they might have been quietly looking for him without sounding the alarm and worrying everyone. I'm just dumbfounded that you would think it's ok to take your child away from the group without letting the teacher know. Did this ruin the trip for the rest of the class? Your behavior was really selfish. You could have instead joined the group and helped out the teacher rather than trying to prove a point.[/quote]

Gotta agree. Your child didn't wander off/wasn't left behind.  You removed him from the trip without letting anyone know.  Yes, they should have realized before 45 minutes, but as the teacher, I would have been totally frantic and would be pretty unforgiving when I learned that you took your child with no word to anyone.

If you don't like how field trips are supervised, speak up and work with the school to change it.  Don't be a jerk.[/quote]
