3. You'd never get permission from our district for that kind of trip.

We wanted to take 4 senior students to a nice steakhouse for lunch to celebrate their win in a national stock market game.

Rejected as too risky. The group was too small to require the district's 70 passenger bus for transport, which we would have had to pay $3 a mile, $11 an hour, 100 mile, 2 day minimum rate, same as our athletic teams.

We just had them meet us with their parents on a Saturday.

Nice to know there are still places where things are happening!
