Re: All Student Travel Companies
Posted by Tom on 5/28/08
How do teachers personally benefit? Here is how... Some teachers rake in THOUSANDS in stipends on a per head basis
from these companies for their work putting the trip together
(stipend is built into the trip cost)...I have no problem with
someone earning a free trip and perhaps a small stipend for their
time and efort. But, often these RATS are raking in thousands of
dollars PLUS their trip is free. They could not take as much and
negotiate a lower price for the families that often struggle to
pay for them...THESE PEOPLE ARE THE LOWEST FORM OF LIFE. I know these things because I worked in the student travel
business fro quite some time...I have seen stipends as high as
$200.00 per head for a trip with 175 kids. YES....That rat got a
$35,000 check while each of his students paid $200.00 more than
they had to for the trip. If anyone is reading this post that does this, you are a SCUMBAG,
and may you rot in the deepest pit of hell!!!!!! For the rest of you, especially parents...Speak to your school
boards and your organizers...Make sure you are not being taken
advantage of by those claiming to do you a service.
