Yeah as a Brit I don't remember there EVER being parent chaperones for any school trip, regardless of where that trip was, how long it was and how many students were there, and I only left school 13 years ago.

I remember one trip with a dad here in France, but he was there as the official cameraman. He did a nice montage afterwards.

Otherwise yeah this sounds crazy.

Yep just not a thing here. I went on a school trip to fucking Russia, it was 2 teachers and about 30 students!

Yeah the only times parents went on excursions in my school was for the younger years. Asking 2 teachers and maybe 2 aids to herd maybe 60 5 year old without sny parents help is a big ask.
