Question

Would your parents let you go to Italy on a school trip for five days?

Answer 1

Well, I'm 20 so i'm a bit old for school now, but my parents let me go on school trips abroad throughout seconday school. Not sure if they would have let me in primary school, but I dont think primary schools do trips abroad anyway

Answer 2

Definitely especially if there is learning involved. School trips for me are normally cheaper as the school will help to pay a small percentage for the trip, so that it will encourage students to sign up for it.

Answer 3

Yes.  I was seventeen when my parents let me go on a six week tour of Switzerland, Italy, France, and England, with four weeks of the trip studying French with other students.  My mother had just started back to work part-time, and I had a part-time job, so our earnings paid for the trip, and I operated on a very strict pocket money budget, as I am one of four children, and we had to watch expenses.  

This experience opened my eyes to the world and was worth every penny.

A group of us girls did get chased by Italian guys in Rome, though--also a learning experience.

Answer 4

well i'm out of school, but i would have totally been allowed. Actually my sister did go to Italy for 8 days her senior year, and i was going to spend 3 months of my senior year in England, but plans changed not because i wasn't allowed, but my parents were killed in a car accident, and i didn't feel like going

Answer 5

NO

You hear so many stories of school trips on the news!

My parents wouldn't let me go!

Answer 6

yes of course.

Answer 7

no ,my parents are way too scary even if they are not gonna pay for it....

Answer 8

When I was that age, yes...and my sister went on a Christmas scholl trip to Russia and Denmark for two weeks. They've "let" me live in Italy for the past nine years, but then I'm somewhat over the age where parental consent is necessary.

Answer 9

im no longer at school, but they would have done providing they could have afforded it.

Answer 10

When my school had trips to Germany and to France, my parents wouldn't agree to me going.

They said that they couldn't afford it which may well have been the case, (it was expensive), but the trips also included an exchange visitor, so that could have influenced their decision.

Apart from a stop-over 1 day visit to Rome, I've never been to Italy, but going next week to Lake Garda.

Answer 11

yes if they could afford it. it sounds to me like your parents may be saying no because of this very reason.

please dont take it too hard on them. im sure they are doing the best they can for you xx
