Post: Teachers that stink!!!!Posted by Tom on 5/28/08
I just posted this as a reply to another thread, but this
is something everyone involved with a student tour of any
kind should know!!!
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.
