[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to be a chaperone on many many field trips because I was a SAHM therefore I had nothing better to do  :roll: Anyway, I can't tell you how many lunches I bought and brought extra just in case for kids that spent their money in the souvenir shop FIRST and had no money left to buy food. They're kids. They are supposed to be stupid.

Next time go on the trip or only give him $10.

One time I sent my GROWN son to the store for bread. I gave him a twenty and he bought $20 worth of bread.  :shock:   [/quote]

I'll never forget the trip I chaperoned with a new teacher one year.  She didn't know the "rule" of making kids visit the gift shop (by the front door) after they'd explored and eaten lunch.  When we arrived and she said yes to a kid asking if he could buy his souvenir now, the other parents and I looked at each other like, "oh bleep!" because we knew what would happen come lunch time.  Sure enough, the teacher and the parents ended up having to buy at least half the kids some food because they'd blown all their money (and in many cases, their parents really hadn't sent enough for food + gifts).
