to think DD's school is being cheeky charging £14 for a school trip

[Mojomummy]

when the entrance fee to the venue is £5.50 ?

Where's the £8.50 of this charge going ?Parents provide normal pack lunch & drinks.

Is this normal ?

Teachers don't get paid extra (not even if they go overnight/weekend trips), but teachers don't pay the admission charge or coach fairs

Godzilla my school has a buy one get one half price policy for twins on all trips including residentials.

WHAT!

I would quite happily settle for that instead of beingthe muggins i am and paying full whack for everything (even though i could plead poverty )

eh well, the GOOD thing is, barring any residential trips next year, think how much richer we will feel!
