Background: we live abroad, DC all born here but have been bilingual since birth, regularly spend time with family in UK, attended international school for primary...
DD is 14 and has the choice of two school trips this year.
Trip 1: 2 week exchange to Germany €300
Trip 2: 6 day language course to learn English in the Isle of Wight, €600
DD wants to go to the Isle of Wight because most of her friends are going. I'd love her to go and visit, explore the island etc. but the trip involves 6 hours of English lessons a day, which, imo are a complete waste of time for DD.
She's stamping her foot and saying I'm being unfair for not wanting her to go. I think €600 is a lot of money to waste on English lessons and would rather she went to Germany.
