[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People the liability excuse is just a cover for the real reason - equity.

If all kids can’t have it then no kids can.

BTW a PR trip at a hotel is not immersion and not anywhere close to the same experience.  Also watch and wait if there is even approval for this since there is a cost and it’s not equitable. [/quote]

You say that as if it's the wrong thing. Of course if not all can go, nobody should go. If equity is such a big deal for you, go to a private school. I bet you can afford it.

You are so entitled and elitist, it's gross. You know, OA has a lot of good things but one bad thing is people like you, who look down on everyone and think they are superior to everyone else.

I hope this new principal ignores all your temper tantrums and does what she need to do to make OA MORE equitable. [/quote]

I am not the poster, but totally disagree with your response (and insults).

OA is a bilingual school with a lot of economic diversity.  The Spain exchange was an international immersion opportunity open to all students, without financial barriers.  That is pretty darn equitable.  And a particularly great opportunity for those children whose families may not be inclined to travel, or those that would not have the finances to travel otherwise.

The poster is allowed to be upset that this opportunity was cancelled without being called "entitled and elitist".

It is the misuse of the term to say that it was cancelled for “equity”.   One could argue that the cancellation of the trip hurts the more disadvantaged students disproportionately (as the more affluent families will still find travel international opportunities for their kids).
