As I mentioned in another post, Colin my 13 y/o is home from school this week because his class went on a trip. There are 7 other kids that didn't go on the trip either, and quite a few of them are staying home too. I didn't think it was really fair that he have to go to school when most of the class is in Quebec skiing and snowshoeing.
He did go to school yesterday because they had tallked about taking the kids left behind snowshoeing at the local outdoor education area. But no go there, they aren't planning anything with them at all.
I think that this is soooooooo unfair!!! Just because these kids could not afford the $250 (yep, that much!!) to go to Quebec, I don't feel that they should have to miss out, especially if it is a school sanctioned function. To top it off they asked for the money in November and wanted it all in by December 20 and that was just way too much to come up with before Christmas.
Maybe I am so upset about it because I feel oh so terrible and horrible that I could not afford to pay for my son to go.
I feel like such a bad parent
I feel like such a bad parent
Still it would have only cost $10 or so per person for them to go snowshoeing and skiing here at the outdoor center and I do think it is singling out the poor kids and excluding them because of their parents income...that is just not right!!! The least they could have done was arrange to have these kids go there for one day.
Alright I'm done with my rant!!!LOL!
