Parents refuse to pay for 17-year-old's $45 marine biology elective field trip, flip out when teacher offers her free ticket: 'For the past 3 days they have been calling me ungrateful and spoiled'

A lot of the time, many of the opportunities that are offered to us in school are something that is only appreciated in hindsight (if at all). There is no denying that the educational system is far from perfect, but there are some hardworking teachers and institutions that try to make the student experience worthwhile, and something that students will benefit from.

Ultimately, though, most pupils only feel the full benefit of the education they are receiving if there is a harmonious relationship between themselves, their school, and their home life. If one of these things isn't working as it should, they are likely to suffer the consequences. This can be painful at any stage, but especially when students are teenagers and just beginning to discover their own interests and independence. It is a time when, within reason, it is important for parents to be supportive what they are interested in educationally.
