Another day, another wasted opportunity. You see, my daughter was offered to go on this trip to DC with the school for $600. She didn't have the extra 600, so she stayed home. Of course 80 of the kids did have the money and they went.
I don't really have a problem with them going... but what did the kids who didn't go do in school, while the other kids (and teachers) were in DC? Nothing. Or rather watch some movies. I have a problem with this. They could have left something for them to do... and oh yeah, Friday is a teacher work day (last Friday, the 3rd), those on the traditional calendar. But they won't (the ones that went to DC). So I'm left thinking, WTF?!?!?!

Wasted Week

Hmmm... We had the same circumstance last week. All of the kids who went had to get sign-off sheets from their teachers - after they had completed all the work that they would miss. Then I had to get a sub for the teacher who went - who was left a lesson plan for the week, that covered the same things that the kids who went had to do. No movies, no playtime - school is a responsibility, like work.
That's just the way it's done in a school system that operates on the idea that participation in school activities is an earned PRIVILIDGE, not a right. Thought you'd want to know.
