[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most responses have focused on focused on fourth grade field trips.  What about first grade field trips? I posted earlier about being stressed out chaperoning my first grader's field trip to walk around DC.  Kids were running off ahead of their individual groups, getting too close to water areas around monuments.

This was not just one or two kids, MANY kids behaving like that.  I am vigilant, so it stressed me out and my group probably thought I was a mean mom.  Other chaperones were very casual.  [b]You all are ok with your first grader being in such a situation?[/b][/quote]

Yes, because I trusted my first-graders to stay with the group.[/quote]

I had a friend who said once...God watches out for the kids whose parents don't.....[/quote]

I am a Christian, but, this is really not a good application of the statement.   What was God doing when we read about those parents that starve, abuse, lockup their kids, or let their boyfriends abuse and kill their kids, like the little from MA (I think.. Bella was her name)?  Was he "watching out" for those kids?

I have no idea why God lets those horrible things happen to kids, but your statement is clearly not true, that God will watch over a child that an adult is not paying attention to.  That was a ridiculous thing to state.[/quote]
