School trip to spain

[WaterLilly28]

Hi, all... My 15 years old daughter's school specialise in Spanish language and it's one of the subject she will be doing on her gcse's. So her school has planned a trip to spain salamanca for 4 nights, where they'd be staying with carefully selected Spanish family and will have 3hrs Spanish lessons each of those days along with other activities. They want deposit already, and I am feeling quite indecisive whether I shall let her go or not. I wanted to ask have any of you sent your daughter's to such trip? If so how was it? Was it beneficial for their GCSE? And did they vegetarian food option? I would appreciate you views.

It sounds great! I’m a teacher who has organised many trips, I’m sure they will match her up to a family that is sympathetic to vegetarianism.

As a vegetarian who lived in Spain for many years it is probably a good idea to train your daughter to be a non-fussy vegetarian. I will basically eat anything that is not meat. You can’t be a vegetarian who won’t eat mushrooms, or who only likes potatoes in chip shape… I took a vegetarian who didn’t eat vegetables on a trip to Spain once, she survived on bread and still complained about that!

I did spanish o'level (so many moons ago) and spent 3 WEEKS with a family in Spain at that age. It will be fine.
