[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child's school goes to NY in 8th grade.  It's $900.  [/quote]

Although, if your child goes to the Roberto Clemente MS magnet program, even that is deeply problematic -- $900 for a required school trip in a public school.[/quote]

It's Eastern and they make sure every student can go.  [/quote]

How do they do this? I'm asking sincerely.[/quote]

They have fundraisers starting in 6th grade.  And then I think scholarships for students to who can't afford it.  [/quote]

But fundraisers is just asking other people to pay for a $900 school field trip. If other people want to do that, then that's their right, of course. But I would not feel comfortable asking somebody else to do this for my child's school field trip. Also, while I would be able to put up $900 for a school field trip, it's still a big chunk of money, and it's not what I'd want to spend that big chunk of money on.

I'm thinking about this because I have a kid who might get accepted into the MS magnet program, and if the kid does get accepted, then do I say, "Kid, you're not going to the MS magnet program, because I will not want to send you on the $900 mandatory one-week field trip in 8th grade?"[/quote]
