[quote=Anonymous]I have chaperoned a lot of field trips and I have generally felt the supervision was sufficient. I've always been paired with another parent and had a reasonable number of kids to keep track of. Only once was I paired with a parent who was only interested in her kid and sneaking off for smoke breaks and we got briefly separated from one of our kids, but I quickly realized he was missing and doubled back for him. A teacher also saw him and made sure we reconnected. My oldest was not a wanderer but my youngest is more impulsive and is the one I worry about getting lost. Heck, I lost track of him ToT'ing last night and he's in the 4th grade. Vigilance is necessary but the risk is really not great in the big picture of field trips. I think you are a bit overanxious and your stunt to take you kid off and create drama was a dick move. [/quote]
