That's what I was wondering. Back when I was in school we needed signatures for any field trips and if I didn't want to go my mom would write 'NO' on it and I got to stay in a room reading a book.

I'm in my 40s so maybe they stopped doing it with millennials? Which is nuts. I'd be livid if I'd had kids and they were doing things without my permission.

My mom was way cool and used to let me decide on anything that had a permission slip, but she was always aware of what was going on. She told me she would have home schooled me if what is going on now had been going on then. She said I was a good enough kid she could have handed me the work and gone off to her job and know I would have it done when she got home. The kids I see now can't be left alone at 15 much less at 10.

Same here, if you came to school w/o the slip, for whichever reason you stayed behind.
I can’t remember any trip that wasn’t tied to a specific school topic.. Things certainly have changed

I'm a good deal younger than you- when I was in elementary school, if we had a field trip to the fucking park across the street, parental signatures were required.

I believe the rule was: Parents must approve of and know of the whereabouts of their children if they leave the school grounds. I remember going to museums, a zoo, a farm, a whole bunch of places- always needed a permission slip (that's what they were called) signed by a parent, turned in at least a few days before the trip.

This story is absolutely fucking insane. Let's ignore the fact that it was a fag bar they were taken to- this teacher essentially KIDNAPPED the entire class. If a parent suddenly needed to get their child, showed up at the school and asked for them... "Oh sorry Mr. Parent, your son is on a field trip to Cocksucker Alley." When you drop your kid off at school, you're supposed to be assured that they'll be there until a designated time. But now teachers are trying to be the parents of their goddamned classroom....
