[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids went on a trip by World Strides (Educational Tours).  However, the teacher decided where they wanted to lead the trip to.  And of course, while the accommodations were comfortable and clean, they were not living in 5 star hotels and dining on caviar.   It is very well-run,  and the teachers more than earn their free trip.[/quote]

For $5K+, for less than a week, I'd expect 5 star private rooms.[/quote]

The $5k includes international flights, ground transportation within country, a dedicated tour guide, 24/7 chaperone, admission to sites and activities, and at least some meals. What economy do you live in?[/quote]

One where we travel for much less but I don't need anyone to chaperone or take mine traveling as that's what we can do as a family.  In what world do you live in where you are that wealthy and need to dump your kids on someone else.[/quote]

I’m not wealthy and I travel with my kids. However, I also recognize that they benefit from increased independence from their parents by traveling without us. We also camp as a family, but still had them do Outdoor Ed and Scouting.

Why are you so fixated on the idea that only rich people take these trips? You’ve already been told that isn’t true. Let go of that false narrative already.[/quote]
