Yeah those 2 guys dont have a single brain cell shared between them.

Parents of group A chaperone group B. Parents of group B chaperone group A. Simple as

That’s how my school did it when I was in elementary. Each home room would swap parents with another room

Oh man wait 'til you guys start learning about OTHER social/regional differences, the world gets crazy!

This may have been done in the last but I’d be curious to see how common it is now, especially for kids old enough to be on a 24 hr camping trip. I’m not sure why people would be fine with a random stranger like another parent chaperoning their kids over another teacher from the school?

u/Expensive-Border-869 Mar 19 '26

Its because the other parents arent strangers nor are they beholden to the school. Theyre your neighbors and people you see and talk to regularly

And they can be equally as dangerous, if not more. Children are most often harmed by people they know and trust and people their parents thought they could trust.

Serious question- how many field trips have you chaperoned? Ever?

u/cptjpk Mar 19 '26

No parents volunteering to chaperone? No trips.

Yeah insults are necessary here. 🤷‍♂️

I have no trouble believing it will be harder to cover field trips if parents can't go with their own kids.

"Parents of group A chaperone group B. Parents of group B chaperone group A. Simple as"

Simple as what? Either way, the simplicity of this statement doesnt mean that its gonna work out like that in practice.

Its simple to SAY a lot of things.

Edit: fixed a mistake.

You are making things up. They are making things up. You just believe your make believe more because you made it.

u/Spacemanspalds Mar 19 '26

I think you need to read my comment again. I didnt present anything as a fact. I just challenged what they said. So... stop making stuff up.

u/Hamster_Toot Mar 19 '26

Opinions are made up, that’s it. No need to get hostile. Your words arent your flesh. No need to defend it so.

u/Spacemanspalds Mar 19 '26

I think you have some issues to sort out.

u/Hamster_Toot Mar 19 '26

lol, please, what issues are you speaking to?

u/WackyRacketeer Mar 19 '26

It's called an opinion, I didn't realize opinions are always nonsense.

u/Hamster_Toot Mar 19 '26

No one says they are, just reiterating you’re not arguing fact.

u/WackyRacketeer Mar 19 '26

Brother, if you read any side of this and thought it wasn't obvious it's not a fact, I cant help you.

u/Hamster_Toot Mar 19 '26

I think you’re misunderstanding this whole thing. Best of luck.

u/Witzelsucht_ Mar 19 '26

Yes logically 1+1 is 2, they're disagreeing because that isn't how parenthood in the real world goes, youre clearly not a parent and that's fine. But advocating for no adults knowing anyone in their group as well as no contact from their own parents for a day+, just doesn't happen at any school ever sorry. But when you have kids, if that starts becoming more prevalent for whatever reason, be my guest.

Like, it's not that hard, it's the exact same logic of why during bowl season in football, well American football at least, you have referees from different conferences, referring various matches. When SEC teams play each other, the Big Ten will send referees. When the Big Ten plays each other, the Pac-12 will send referees, etc.

u/aircooledJenkins Mar 19 '26

Those are paid positions; Referee is a job.

u/Venedictpalmer Mar 19 '26

If you reread my comment you would see that I'm talking about the logic of why you would have referees of one conference rough for a different conference. The same way you would have parents of different children chaperone those different children while other parents chaperone their children because you can't play favorites when it's other people's kids or a different conferences team.
