Schools taking kids on skiing trips during school holidays is a good idea for many reasons and i agree with all the positives that children can gain from activity holidays with their peers ect.
However what greives me is the over pampering and snouts in the trough attitude of the education establishment, harsh yes but bear with me.
1. Do schools have to book into 4 star hotels for kids, i had youth hostels in my day but 4 stars come on.
2. why are discounts for group bookings not passed ...

2. why are discounts for group bookings not passed on.
3. where do the free places go to? er teachers and partners
4. And the biggest gripe, Why do teachers get receipts at hotel bars for drinks to claim on their expenses.

My son went with his school and i paid the same price as the broucher, it was to a top italian glacier resort with a 4star hotel, most of the kids were beginners, the cost was over £700 and during term time. excessive or what.
one rule for the working man and another for civil sevents with snouts in the trough.

Your kids! You do what you want - I know I'm taking mine out for a week skiing next year and she is only starting high school in September. I think skiing is great life skill and the holiday is an good educational experience, that is why so many schools have a week ski trip (in term time). Sod 'em, that's what I say - H x
