Do you want me to make it even scarier for you? I voiced my concern about chaperoning because I really don't know any of the kids but my friends daughter. This is a different high school than the only I am normally associated with. I told Estill that I didn't think any of those kids would listen to a thing that I said. He told me that he didn't really expect me to actually do anything. He just needs to be able to certify to the Board of Education that the correct number of adults are going to get the trip approved. In other words, there is going to be 150 high school seniors on the ship without their parents, and no one watching them. Now mix that with a ship that has a party atmosphere anyway. Are you starting to see my concern?

I wouldn't let my kids go on that trip!!!

OK, if I'm reading that right then there's probably a chaperone party you haven't been told about yet. And won't be until you sign on the dotted line.
 

that is such a bad idea!!!!!!!! I'm shocked that they don't seem to care?????? :confused3

Well, I have chaperoned many trips that the basketball team at the high school that I am normally associated with has gone on and I can tell you that while we have tried to adequately chaperone, it is almost impossible to control that many kids when you get them out away from their parents. And it hasn't just been our kids. On every trip there are always groups that have acted much worse than ours. That's why Merkie never goes anywhere, no even local field trips with the school without me. I always take off and go along. That way I know that whether or not any of the other kids are supervised, my child is.

You're probably right! Seriously, I'm sure for the most part the teachers who are going will try. I would hate to think that they would take the kids and just total turn them loose and let them run wild. But like I said 150 kids on a cruise ship without their parents!!!!!!!! Think back to when you were a senior in high school. How would most of your class have acted in that same situation? How would most of US have acted in that same situation?

I am sitting right here and talking myself out of going on this trip.

Oh my class was ROUGH!!
We retired at least 1 teacher, and the rumor was he had a nervouse breakdown from teaching my class. And I guarantee you that my period with that treacher was 1 long argument, Didn't learn a thing. Whether or not he had a breakdown, he was way past when he should have left teaching. And BOY did we prove it.

If you'd have stuck us on any cruise ship, we might have sunk it.
