Argh!
About three weeks ago DD came home with a letter about a residential trip to a farm.
DP and I discussed it that night and agreed she could go, as it was first come first served place-wise I took the deposit in to school the very next day and handed it to the office myself as I knew DD would lose it.
Found out from one of the parents in the playground that there were only 14 places for the whole of year 2, and apparently the other class in year 2 had had their letters two days previously.
Today I get a call saying DD hasn't managed to secure a space.
Surely if there are only going to be 14 places for 60 children they should try and find a way to make it fairer? Maybe two trips, or at least a warning that the letters were going out, and at the very least all children given the letters on the same day???
We had a similar disappointment with a school disco last year, she went to buy her ticket two days after the letters had gone out and they had sold out!

AIBU?
To be annoyed DD didn't get a place on her school trip?
