Teachers are saints on MN so probably IABU

[Sportycustard]

DS is going on a school trip in 2 weeks time. It's a complicated trip to two countries with two different currencies, flying into one and out of the other.

I contacted the school yesterday to ask for:

Departure times - so I can plan accordingly. The kids seem to think that drop off will be in the middle of the night so I need to sort out a plan for my younger DCs as DH is away on business.

The airline (so I know what case to buy as it's hand luggage only)

Some sort of idea of what meals they need to buy so I can order the two currencies

I've just had a rather abrupt email from the school office telling me that they "hope to have this information in 7-10 days".

AiBU to think this is completely unacceptable? We don't even have a plan for the trip yet - even down to knowing which country they are going to first!

I know the teachers are giving up their time etc etc but I have a life too!

He's 17, old enough to find out the details himself.

This is all very very odd.
There has to be a risk assessment.
Also an itinerary.
Also a parents'meeting.
Most peculiar...

I guess you deliberetly* [sic] ignore the frequent teacher bashing posts then* 

No. I see them and teachers are generally defended strenuously from the out set. I also often see people coming on to have a justified moan about a teacher related issue and being shut down immediately with over the top attacks on them as a parent, dressed up as defence of teachers.

Your title is twatty but this is terrible organising. Maybe they know you hate teachers and decided to mess with you.

Oh she doesn’t hate teachers - don’t be daft. She was irritated, rightly, and has apologised about three times.
