Surrey - The Editor, Re: "Consult parents on costly trips," the Now, Jan. 30.
When my children were in school, it was the same - a notice was sent home with the student. We could not afford that kind of a field trip, knowing that we would have to do it for all four of our children as their turns came up. It would not be fair for one to go and not the rest. Our son, of course, was disappointed but understood it was a cost we just couldn't afford. I do think parents should be informed first, as getting them excited first is not fair.Darlene Ewing,Surrey
