The price is not too bad, but only one week to see England and Scotland would be a bit rushed. Too much time spend traveling and not enough seeing the area.

Good grief!!! Is that all-inclusive? When my school, which is in the UK arranged a week-long trip to Washington DC and New York, they only payed £600 ($1200) each, and that included two international and one internal flight! But it didn't include meals or entry into attractions, so I suppose that would add up to quite a bit. If this $2000 excludes all other costs, as in food and attractions, then it's ridiculous. Otherwise it's ok, but still a bit steep.

For a class trip that seems about standard. Obviously it would be a lot cheaper if you let her go for a week by herself or with a small group, but a lot of people feel safer sending people with chaperones and whatnot. Kids get into just as much trouble this way though, since they usually find ways to sneak out of the hotel at night and go out.
Why not offer to look into group rates for a trip this summer with a small number of friends? If you don't wanna put in the work...its a LOT of planning, and you have to chaperone yourself or get one of the other parents to.

I don't think it's too much if she's going to England and Scotland. I paid $1500 to go 3 states away to Washington D.C. for a week, and we didn't even fly. I'd go for it. It could be a once in a lifetime thing.

Sounds about right. If your daughter went on her own, taking trains, ferries, coaches, walking from the station to youth hostels at night, sleeping in rooms full of strangers, skipping meals, and eating cereal and fast food, it would a little bit cheaper, but not much. And a lot of her time would be spent trying to figure out if she can get from point A to point B with the money she has left.
I didn't get to go to England with my college group because I couldn't afford it. I finally went on my own in my late thirties, but that will never compare to the opportunity to go with a group of friends from school.

I think the school is a bit daft not to be planning a ten-day trip so it's less of a rush,but I agree that, with airfare and all, yes, it's probably a reasonable price.

Assuming this is a trip from the US, it seems a reasonable cost when you deduct the air fare.
