Canceled our 8th grade DC trip a day before departure due to overbooking. We had been planning and awaiting this since August, others even before. I'm disappointed how none of the teachers, students, or parents were given a formal apology. Some students, my friends, were in tears when they left the room after they were told. Can you imagine the shame of telling your parents, who have helped you raised money, petitioned, and found places for you to work for this, to tell them you cannot go? How did they not know they overbooked months before hand? But no, we are told a day before. One of my friends, who was to be my roommate in the hotel, had spent $200 on things for the cooler. My other friend/to be roommate had to chose between her quince or DC, now it's to late for her to have the best possible birthday of her life, a chance to see her dad again. This just doesn't sit right with anyone. It doesn't just affect the trip, it affects the people who chose between it and something else and were bamboozled.
