[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are right, I do not have security when I travel alone or with my family, but it is not absurd that in some places with a large group of noticeably young tourist, that security may be needed. Not to mention who will deal with some of these kids who may get out of hand? If they need security in the schools then why would they not need it with a large group of kids from different schools abroad?[/quote]

Maybe this is what's wrong with the schools in this city: from 8:45 until 3:15, these kids are under constant "security", then 3:15 pm they're let out of buildings and all hell breaks loose. (The schools to prisons pipeline as it's called.) How about we start removing some of that "security" so they may all grow up to behave responsibly without someone nearby about to whack them over the head if they so much as step two inches away from the brown tile on the wall.

And you know what: These kids absolutely need to go abroad, even just to learn that there are entire societies out there that will treat them with respect without all that "security" bearing down on them. The sad part: I bet the person calling for all that "security" does not know any better.[/quote]
