However, one can hardly ask to parent to take on some of this financial burden, as they have their own fuel tanks to fill and homes to run. Many of them are stretched to the limit as it is, without the schools asking for money to fund things such as field trips. It seems like a real lose-lose situation. The money just doesn’t seem to exist, and the students are missing out on valuable experiences. I guess the fuel-price pinch is really affecting everyone.
