I do monthly field trip and I feel your pain. While I have never cancelled a trip due to behavior, I have had kids-to quote my mom- "take the rag off the bush" and just show out. When that happens, I let the parents know that they totally misbehaved during the trip and as a result they can't go on the next one.

Mind you that this is for extreme behavior issues. And each time it happened, I had the full support of my Director AND the parent.

I don't know how badly they were acting up but if it was as bad as you say, I agree with canceling the trip.


One more thing, was this a free trip or did the parents have to pay?
