8th gr. Wash. DC trip?Would you do it?
| Mon, 10-15-2007 - 2:03pm |
My 8th grader was 13 in Aug. Her school is planning a Washington DC trip for social studies...the teacher who is running the trip is doing it through a company that does these types of trip for kids...sounds good and legitimate. But, aren't they young at this age to take a trip like this? We live in Ca., so this would be far away for us. She would be gone 5 days. I've approved of her going, but I'm thinking she's young! I went to DC in high school.
I'm being a nervous mom, so need some advice as to what you would do.
It's also about $1900.00 total. I'm trying to make sure her dad pays for half, yeah right...we'll see...even though he says he will.
My DD has gotten all A's, just 1 C in middle school....so this would be a way of rewarding her good grades and of course she would learn a lot!
It would probably be a great trip, it's just the thought of letting my "baby" go so far away! There would be a total of 35 kids going.

I would let my child go if I felt comfortable with the teacher and the program.
Kayleigh will be going on the 8th grade trip to D.C. in the spring of 2009.

Yes, I'd let my kids go.
Not sure if you saw my post a month or so ago--but we faced this same dilema!
We are in IL and our 8th grade class goes to FL(Disney) for a week---that includes travel time and will be about $1000.

March weather can be unpredictable....usually breezy & not warm yet. Probably very much like Northern CA (SF Bay area) weather except windier. Been known to snow or be hot here in March as I mentioned it can be unpredictable -- I would check the weather the week before.
I have relatives in Southern CA so have visited the West coast as well as SF. The scenery is a bit different here & the traffic is just like the LA area, LOL. I bet your dd will have a blast!

That would be great if your son could go to Ca.
