[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTH? Who cares so much about outdoor ed that they are offended if another parent decides not to send their child. Its basically a low end sleep away experience. If my kid was dreading it, I wouldn't send them either.

If my kid was being bullied in school already, I 100% would not send them on an overnight trip with those people. Parent chaperones are not effective for managing bully situations. At best parents are usually uncomfortable verbally disciplining other people's kids. At worst, there are plenty of parents that see bullying as a right of passage and are just thrilled that their kid is the aggressor rather than victim. [/quote]

These are middle school kids - even MS teachers can have problems managing issues, let alone unexperienced/untrained parents.

OP, if you don't think it'll work for your kid, keep her home.  Not really an issue, IMO.  And, really not anybody else's business why one parent decides to keep a kid home - whether it's because of food allergies, bullying concerns, whatever the reason.  [/quote]
