Not all individual trips though, Maggy. When my children go to the local church, or to the village for a field trip, the school uses a general permission mandate that we complete at the beginning of each year.

and yep my Meithrin uses once a year permision slips for trips to save loads of printing environmental me lol
But one can understand the school's motivation and reasoning.

No one forced the child to do anything.

The point is the mother's reasoning behind her decision was that she didn't want her daughter to, "dress like a Muslim." Not that she was being expected to pray or worship as a Muslim. |
and thats her right too some will feel like me that only if you were required to do something like bowing or putting on a hat for a specific part of a service would i say no but others may feel that if they dont wear a hat normally they shouldn't have to
my feelings on whether these trips are good i already made buit i would add i think it seems to me that maybe if they had been given a lot more information on what and why they were being asked to wear there may have been less hassle any how
wrong order on answers lol
schools reasoning i am sure is very reasonable if viewed as them making sure they ticked every box ready for inspection ! but not so when it comes to explaining to parents or on what permision slips are if saying no means you are making your child a truant
which actualy is where i would have taken issue and refused the trip solely on those grounds offering to go to school to look after them if it was really being abandoned for the trip
