[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a chaperone for an overseas trip and no way would our school have allowed this.  They had very strict rules and our own kids weren't even allowed to be in my small group of kids that I looked after for the week.

I'm pretty laid back about most things, but this seems like a violation of the very intent of a trip like this.   I'm sure there are some lessons for your DD to learn from this, but that is really rotten that she was really looking forward to this, had helped raise money and then it turned out to be a tag-along type situation with another family.

The school *really* needs to to put some guidelines in place to make sure this doesn't happen again, but I don't see anything that will "fix" it for your DD other than think about how she might have raised this as an issue sooner.[/quote]

X 1,000,000. I can't believe anyone thinks it's ok for a chaperone to bring his or her FAMILY on a school-sponsored trip! In what universe is that ok?! [/quote]
