Compulsory Overseas Trip

ooptimizer:

Just don't turn up at the airport on the day, and what can the school do?

YOu would only do that if the trip was free and you haven't paid anything, right?

[ooptimizer]

Obviously don’t turn up at airport assuming it was compulsory and free.


If say, it was not free, then don’t pay at all. I’m sure the school is not going to buy you the airticket if you haven’t paid at all.

First time dd was away from home for camp, that was in P5. Everyone felt so lost without her at home. My mum, kept asking me if she called, has she slept and blar blar blar, then I have to act cool, ensuring she is fine, grown up already, can take care of herself .... but I could not sleep that night.


When dd in secondary school, more chance to camp in schools, slowly, we are getting used to it.

I heard, this year, the year 2s are going to Malaysia. Ooppss ......... :roll: :roll:

Off topic....the first time dd was away from home was the K2 graduation camp. It was a 3 days 2 nights camp at St John Island. No parent volunteers. I really salute the teachers for their responsibilities...Some of the children were too busy to miss the parents....

WOW ! K2 ???? So young and St John somemore ... !!!! What was your feeling at that time ? :shock: :shock:

Haha, its always the other way round, parents miss the children.

I pre-empt my dd, told her I do not want her to go on any overseas trips unless I can tag along. Reason 1. I will miss her soooooo very much. Reason 2. There are too many kids & teachers don't have that many pairs of eyes. My dd said she wouldn't want to go if I'm not going since she would miss me too much to enjoy the trip :love:



At least get your dd on your side. Then deal with the school

K2 camp at St John Island????? 3 days & 2 nights??? :!: :!:

I DOUBLE :salute: :salute: the teachers. Bringing the K2s out to the zoo/underwater world is enough to drain me out. Making sure that they're alright, following the correct group/teacher, eating well/drink enough water and most importantly - learning objective met. (the list goes on....)
Nevertheless, it's an golden opportunity for the child to learn and I admire the courage the school had to organize such a daring camp.

Care to disclose the name of the school?
