Hi Adina - I am exasperated by your child’s school! May I just add that going to the zoo and meeting up with your child’s class is not an offense, for goodness’ sake! That is ludicrous, I mean the zoo is a public place, so... you go with your daughter and....oops, lo and behold, there is your childs class! Nonchantly follow behind them the whole time! I am totally baffled by how they say you can’t go seperately and just join in. You’d think they would be ecstatic. I feel (although no one has ever said this to me!) that my son’s elementary school was thrilled to have me along on all those field trips..heck, it alleviate’s their responsibility (in regards to their CAH) if I went along. I am just baffled..... but then again, so much in our CAH "world" baffles me!!! Good Luck - let us know how you make out.
