My French class is taking a trip to france and...?

I went to France for 9 days in 2004 and it was also $2500, included the same things. So yeah, it's a good deal.
And I don't think it's weird that she's doing it and not the school. I think it's because a lot of liability would fall on the school and you all would have to pay more for insurance purposes if the school was coordinating.
As long as besides the chaperons it's only students going, it will probably be totally fine.
So yeah, it's a great deal. I would definitely go, when I went it was one of the best experiences of my life!
Check out my pictures from when I went in '04:

Anyway, I hope you raise the money and all goes well. Have fun!

The price sounds fair for 10 days. The dollar is so low right now against the Euro and France is expensive anyway.
My daughters have had teachers coordinate trips without school sponsorship so, no I don't think it's weird. Some teachers just enjoy showing students new things & places (teaching!).

well its not weird because the school wouldnt even sujest a thig like that and the price seems ok

Shuya

1. The price is going to be a little high during the Summer, so yeah that's reasonable
2.All language teachers do this and sponsor it on their own. So no that's not weird.

The price sounds really good. The airfare alone would be about $1000.

No, I don't think it's weird. It sounds like she's a great teacher. Just because she's coordinating the trip doesn't mean the school is not on board and doesn't agree with it. She wouldn't be able to announce this trip in school without the approval of the principal.

Don't forget to get a passport!

I'm a bit jealous myself! Wish I could go!

Well, it depends.. Do you live close to france?

EDIT; Oh okay then. That price sounds reasonable. :) You should go... Have fun

I think it all sounds pretty decent - in fact, my school does almost the exact same thing. The price seems certainly fair, especially with all the financial and economical funkiness going on at the moment - not to mention that it covers pretty much everything, which is impressive. As for your teacher coordinating it on her own, no that doesn't sound too bad. If she seems reliable and if there are other people going, I would worry. Again, this might actually be what my old French teacher used to do as well. It might be too much of a hassle to go through the whole process with the school.

All in all, I wouldn't worry. It doesn't sound like you're getting ripped off and if the teacher seems competent, the whole "not being a school related thing" isn't really an issue.

very reasonable at that price. and yes maybe she thinks the older students will watch after the ypounger students and i ams sure there will be more chaparones coming like her husband/bf and possibley a school admindistater and spouse

its sounds like a great price. i'm going to Disney world in florida, for choir about that price. and I don't think it sounds weird. the teacher cares about teaching you and she want to give you a good experience. My french teacher did the same thing last year.
