[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5th grade is too young for a class trip to China, accompanied by a parent or not.[/quote]

Why is it too young for a class trip to China with parents?  Costs aside, explain why this is too young an age if parents can go?[/quote]

It's too young for a CLASS trip that is this big of a deal. If you want to take your own kids and go as a family, great. But this is too young to be hauling  a  class of kids halfway around the world, when some of them (many?) most likely aren't even ready to appreciate it. Poll them, and I bet they'd rather go to Disney World.[/quote inset

Disney world does not appeal to most fifth graders. Your kid must be PK.

All the other feeder schools have fifth grade trips to Costa Rica, st martinique, and puerta Rico. MV has not had a rising fifth grade class yet, so don't know if they will have such a trip. [/quote]

This has already been covered.  The only feeder schools that have 5th grade trips (outside the continental U.S.) are Stokes and DC Bilingual.[/quote]
