[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a YY parent, and I would never send my 5th grade child to China without me, but I think this is a great opportunity and I hope the fundraising works out so every child who wants to go, can. My main concern, as a parent, is not to see the trip dominate the classroom discussions all year, as I think that would be hurtful to kids who cannot go. Obviously, for a few weeks at the end of the year, some emphasis on the trip is to be expected, but I think talking about it daily, in class, would be a concern for me. Otherwise, my kid could understand my reasons for not allowing her to attend and it is a fine lesson that we can't always get what we want. Besides, my child would spend the whole two weeks dumbstruck with jet lag and likely unable to fully enjoy the educational experience.[/quote]
