DS1 (age 13) went on a school trip today to the zoo. One of the 6 teachers accompanying the 104 children on the trip took his wife and two young children.
Does anyone know what the legal ratio of teachers to children is for this age?
I think it is highly unprofessional to do this as the teacher spent the majority of time with his family and not supervising the children.
If the ratio is 1:17 then he should have been acting as a teacher first and foremost. If it is 1:20 then, fine, but really, a day off at the zoo just because a school trip happens to be going somewhere fun for his kids.
I'm pretty peeved at this as I had to pay for the trip and wonder if I am paying for his family too.
What would you do ?
