Really, it just leads to more increased dependance amongst the parents. It's $8 and the family can come up with the money. The family has to make a choice - buy one less convenience item that week vs. send their kid on the field trip.

It's not sweet, or cute, or helpful. It's the opposite. It creates a constant stream of dependance.

My family could not afford field trips and thus have not yet seen the Louisiana State House and the bullet holes in the stairway among others. That one sticks in my mind as hurting the most. [b]At 16 I started working so I could go on my senior trip to Disney World.

I would have loved to have gone on field trips in school and am still miffed about the state house.

Oh lord, now we're going to have people saying that it was actually good for you to miss that trip because it lit a fire under your butt to start working.

Sorry you missed your trip--I was not able to go on ski trips at my school (I know, not educational) and it was very painful to be left behind. Then the next day listening to all the fun things that happened...

Examine your soul indeed.[/quote]
