[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it sounds like the parents actually chaperoned and that is the problem.

I am guessing that your DD had friends who were in other groups and the chaperone let the kids go off and do what they wanted all the time and just had the kids text to check in and that the family your DD was with actually had the kids stay with them so they could supervise.  I think the babysitting is over exaggerating and didn't happen.

No. The chaperones did NOT chaperone. They put their family vacation desires first and forced my child and another classmate to tag along with them instead of shadowing the students on what they wanted to do. This was unacceptable and it will be addressed. Already on it now.[/quote]

NP. This sounds like a good summary of the situation. The chaperones did not chaperone the girls' trip - they brought along their family including little kids and then put the needs of those little kids above the needs of the older girls whose trip it was supposed to be. Being forced to go on little kids' rides that they weren't interested in and not allowed to do the bigger ones is a good example. I think the school should make it clear in the future that if parent chaperones choose to bring along younger children then there also needs to be another adult who is primarily responsible for those younger children so that the designated chaperone can appropriately chaperone the girls without the younger children's needs or wants affecting the experience for the older kids.[/quote]
