[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there some reason that they can't use parent drivers? I went to a private school and we always had parent drivers. 5 kids to a van. Parents signed liability waivers. [/quote] 1. Not enough will volunteer. 2. That’s a lot to coordinate and people aren’t reliable. 3. People won’t trust a random parent to drive. 4. Liability, even with your waiver idea. 5. You need subs to stay back with the kids who don’t sign the waivers and don’t accept the parent driver, assuming there are even enough to drive. [/quote] 6. Parking. Where are these parent drivers supposed to park? And do they simply drop students in front of the museum? That requires a school staffer or volunteer to be there to meet those kids. Does the parent then spend the rest of the field trip circling? Because parking is not worth finding for an hour event. The PP talking about using parent drivers isn't thinking about how this is (a) public school, not private (which that PP said he or she had attended) and (b) the classes on these field trips aren't small private school classes, they're large 25-35 kid classes.
